I make these all the time for my daughter's bentos since she loves inari sushi.
I also thought up a way to remove the surface oil from the aburaage without making my hands and cutting board greasy.

These are less sweet than the usual inari sushi. Please adjust the flavor to your taste. Be careful when you're opening the aburaage (fried tofu) to make the inari bags. For 4 inari sushi. Recipe by voyage

Steps

1

Put the ☆ ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Add the opened up aburaage pockets, cover with a drop lid or otoshibuta and simmer until there's no liquid left in the pan. Press down on the aburaage occasionally.
2

Turn the bag over the roll the other side too. (Your hands won't get messy since they don't touch the aburaage directly.)
3

Cut the aburaage over the plastic bag into half. Put the aburaage (remove the bag) into the boiling water. Boil for a minute and drain into a colander or sieve.
4

When they've cooled down enough to handle, squeeze out each piece gently to remove any excess water, and open them up slowly to form pockets.
5

Put the ☆ ingredients in a pan an bring to a boil. Add the opened up aburaage pockets, put a small lid right on top of the food (otoshibuta) and simmer until ther's no liquid left in the pan. Press down on the aburaage occasionally.
6

Let cool with the lid on to allow the flavors to penetrate (if you can leave them overnight, they'll become really good)! Stuff with sushi rice to make inari sushi.
