Inari Sushi

I consulted a recipe from Kikuchi Katsuhide, the head chef of "Shinoda Sushi" in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
This doesn't use dashi, but rather water for seasoning. When you think you want to have inari sushi, prepare this the day before! If you make a lot, you can store them in the freezer. It's also delicious in kitsune udon. The size of the aburaage will vary depending on where you get it, so please adjust the amounts of the ingredients accordingly. This is just how to prepare the aburaage, so fill them as you like. As the aburaage is rather sweet, I suggest something acidic for a delicious inari sushi. Recipe by kuisinbou

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the square aburaage diagonally in half. (Maybe this is Kansai-style?)
- 2
Boil water, then pour the boiling water over the aburaage to drain excess oil.
- 3
Put the seasonings into a pot and bring to a boil. Add the aburaage and boil for 3-4 minutes.
- 4
Once it's very lightly browned with the seasonings, turn the heat to medium and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. When they come to the surface, lightly press back down.
- 5
Now, let it sit overnight!!! If you do this, it will soak up the flavor thoroughly. It's a bit of a pain, but it's essential.
- 6
Fill your inari sushi with whatever you desire!! The tofu is so well-seasoned that you just can't fail!! The aburaage is sweet, so use something acidic.

Inari Sushi with Burdock Root Inari Sushi with Burdock Root
Inari sushi is delicious, isn't it? You can make them just with regular sushi rice but I prefer the texture of the burdock roots so I add a lot of them in.I shaved the burdock roots when I made this for first time, but it was a bit difficult to fit them in the aburaage tofu skins, so I chopped them up this time. It takes more time to cook when it's chopped rather than shaved, so simmer it slowly. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru cookpad.japan -
Old School Inari Sushi Old School Inari Sushi
Inari sushi has been one of my favorite dishes since childhood. The rather concentrated, but delicately balanced sweetened soy sauce with the sushi rice is the perfect match! I prep this as a snack for picnics.I used the economy grade packets of aburaage. I buy them cheap and stock them in the freezer. Use the golden ratio of 1 tablespoon of sugar, sake, soy sauce, mirin to 100ml of water. This makes it easy for you to calculate when increasing the amount. For stewed dishes, I suggest using dashi stock for best results. Recipe by Naomoka cookpad.japan -
Plump Inari Sushi Plump Inari Sushi
I made this as a side dish when I was preparing grilled mackerel sushi and needed one more dish.Turning off the heat when there's some sauce still left in the pan and leaving the abura-age to cool will help soak the flavor in, making them more plump and juicy. You could also make extras and stock in the freezer.Try the rice with shiso leaves, pickled ginger or hijiki seaweed. Recipe by Chisapu- cookpad.japan -
Inari Sushi with Nuts and Dried Fruits Inari Sushi with Nuts and Dried Fruits
I originally created this recipe as an entry for a recipe contest sponsored by the company that sells the nuts and dried fruits I used. However, the theme of the contest was rather extravagant and I didn't think this fit well, so I entered it in a healthy eating recipe contest sponsored by another company instead.I made these inari sushi with the rice showing so they would be fun to look at.I used the sweetness of the dried fruit only, and didn't add any sugar to the rice (as you usually would to sushi rice).They are good when they're freshly made, but they are also delicious if made ahead of time for a party. I personally like them better after they have rested for a while. Recipe by Mizuki shan cookpad.japan -

I've been making these for my kids who have recently acquired a taste for inari sushi.Take extra care not to tear the tofu wrapping.Don't squeeze out all of the broth from the tofu wrapping; keep them juicy.With the remaining broth, add some Japanese dashi soup stock and a bit of grated ginger, then use it as one serving of somen noodle dipping sauce for your lunch.Or be thrifty and reuse it as stewing broth for koya (freeze-dried) tofu, atsuage (thick fried tofu), and shiitake mushrooms.
