Yutaka Inari Sushi Pockets / Fried tofu Pockets / Seasoned Soybean Curd for Inari Sushi 100g

Product Information

Aburaage is cooked in sweet soy sauce to create inari sushi. The aburaage absorbs the sweet soy sauce at this point, so it is simmered until most of the liquid has gone. Inari sushi can also be made with rice balls ( onigiri), or rice wrapped in nori seaweed ( maki sushi).

Home-made Inari Sushi is not difficult to make at all. All you need to do is cook seasoned aburaage pouches and sushi rice, then wrap the rice in the aburaage pouches. It only takes 10 minutes to cook seasoned aburaage pouches. I’ll also show you how to make a triangle Inarizushi in today’s recipe.Among the available options, my recommendation leans toward the square one. This preference arises due to the variable length ratio found in rectangular pieces; while some are long, others are notably shorter, creating inconsistencies. Dashi broth – This broth is the base of the sauce. Choose from dashi made with dried bonito flakes and kelp, or vegetarian dashi made with kelp and shiitake mushrooms. You could also use instant dashi or dashi bags if you like. I called it ‘Inari Sushi’ so that my readers will know that this is a sushi recipe. But in Japan, it is called ‘Inarizushi’ (いなり寿司 or 稲荷寿司), changing the sound ‘sushi’ to ‘zushi’ for easier pronunciation. When you turn the pouch inside out, you will get quite a different texture and the colour of the aburaage is lighter. The method of making inside out Inarizushi is the same as the traditional one. Decorating Inarizushi with Toppings

Use a large bowl (I use a sushi oke or hangiri here) or a baking sheet to cool and season the cooked rice. Using a Drop Lid: Tofu pouches float in liquid, so ensure every piece of tofu is effectively immersed in hot water and thoroughly rid of oil by using a drop lid during boiling. This method guarantees uniform cleaning of each tofu piece and the drop lid can be used again for even marinating.Inari sushi is a type of sushi that has roots in the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. Inarizushi first made its appearance in the written record towards the end of the Edo period in a book called “Morisada Mankou (守貞漫稿),” a chronicle of the customs and various other things related to the three capitals of Japan – Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka. At the time, Inarizushi was a well-loved dish by the common people due to its affordability, delicious taste, and convenience. While many Japanese grocery stores sell pre-seasoned inari age, for this recipe I chose to season the aburaage at home so that I could adjust the levels of sweet and savory flavors. Overnight Storage: Storing your prepared tofu overnight allows the flavors to seep in more profoundly. This process results in a juicy inari and a firm texture that is less prone to tearing. You can still enjoy storebought inari sushi but you have to remember, they are high in sugar and oil so you may want to skip desserts, or just be aware that you are consuming a little bit too much sugar and oil… Store-bought aburaage pouches usually come with a small amount of the liquid the aburaage pouches were cooked in. You need to squeeze the liquid out of the pouches before filling with the sushi rice.
