Basic Inari Sushi for Bento
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
This is a recipe my mother taught me.
Make the inari sushi the day before if possible, and stuff the rice the next day. They will taste even better that way.
Use a puffy type of aburaage for best results.
When you heat sushi vinegar in the microwave, it loses some of the flavor of the vinegar, so don't microwave for too long. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

- 1
Roll the surface of the aburaage with a rolling pin or similar to make them easier to open up. Slice in half, and open them up so that they become little bags. Boil for a minute to get rid of the surface oil.
- 2
Put the drained aburaage in a pan, add the ★ ingredients. Cover with an otoshibuta drop lid that sits right on top, and simmer. Turn the aburaage over once as it simmers.
- 3
Simmer until there's very little liquid left in the pan, and let cool.
- 4
Rinse the rice 30 minutes before you intend to cook it and drain in a sieve. Add a little less water than you normally do, put in the konbu seaweed and cook in a rice cooker.
- 5
Put the ☆ ingredients in a heatproof container and microwave for 20 seconds. When the rice is cooked, add the ☆ sushi vinegar, and mix together while fanning the rice to cool.
- 6
Add finely chopped red pickled ginger and white sesame seeds to the rice and mix in. Divide the rice into as many portions as you have aburaage pockets, and squeeze lightly into oblong shapes.
- 7
Drain the aburaage, and stuff with the sushi rice. Reduce the remaining cooking liquid, and brush on the inari sushi.
- 8
Increase the amount of vinegar and salt in the sushi vinegar to taste. I think inari sushi tastes better if you use a little less sugar in the rice than you would for other types of sushi.
- 9
You could also mix in leftover chopped kinpira (spicy stir fried carrots and burdock root) or simmered hijiki seaweed into the rice.

Amazing Inari Sushi
The delicious combo of wweet aburaage and unsweetened sushi rice is what makes inari sushi so good!Notes: If you can, cook the rice a little firmer than usual, but don't add sugar to the sushi rice since the aburaage is sweet. (Recipe by Cooking S Papa)
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
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

Flavorful Inari Sushi
I made this for my son who loves inari sushi. After trying out many different combinations and measurements of condiments, I finally compiled this recipe.You can use leftover broth to simmer carrots or hijiki to mix in with the rice. Or, you can season the rice with yukari (dried red perilla leaves) powder or salmon flakes. You can season the rice with almost anything and it will still be tasty. This makes slightly sweet inari sushi, so reduce the amount of sugar to your liking. For 12. Recipe by Mizuharun

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
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
Inari Sushi with Minced Meat and Bamboo Shoots
I was taught how to make bamboo rice without the bother of pre-boiling the bamboo,and I arranged it into inari-style sushi. It's just perfect to bring in a lunchbox to a Hanami party, as it tastes delicious, even cold!At Step 4, you only need the liquid of the daikon radish. Use around 150ml and the same amount of water. You can use the grated daikon radish for another dish.This time I used the rice for inari-sushi,but of course you can serve as it is. Recipe by yaburie

Refreshing Inari Sushi With Yuzu
I always used to make inari sushi with yuzu when I lived in Japan. I made it for the first time in ages using frozen yuzu peel, and my family loved it.You can add yuzu juice to sushi vinegar if you like to make it very fragrant, but just adding frozen yuzu peel is fine. For 2 rice cooker cups worth of sushi rice. Recipe by Cookie shiasu
Grandma's Simple Inari Sushi
I've tried many recipes in the past, but my grandmother's the best. This is a simplified version.Although it may seem too much at first, the sweetness of the aburaage goes perfectly with the sushi rice.When filling the inari sushi a few hours after seasoning the aburaage it's best not to squeeze out the tofu. This retains their flavor and texture. Recipe by Kichiri-monja. Yields 10 rice balls. Double the ingredient amounts for 20 rice balls.
Seven Colored Inari Sushi with Black Rice
This is an adaptation of inari sushi that were packed in a bento I got from a ryoutei (high-end Japanese restaurant). These are seven-color inari sushi featuring purple, sticky and beautiful black rice.The seven colors are: Black rice (black and purple); shirasuboshi (white, boiled salted tiny sardines); carrots (orange); corn kernels (yellow); sesame seeds (gold); and edamame (green).(Note: the number 7 is a lucky number in Japan)Simmer the aburaage while the rice cooks.The total cooking time is about 60 minutes.It depends on how you pack the inari skins, but with 2 rice cooker cups worth of sushi rice there will be a bit left over. Leftover rice can be frozen.Use commercial sushi vinegar if you prefer.You can add gingko nuts, finely scrambled egg, or kinshi tamago (finely shredded thin omelette) instead of the corn kernels. For 10 inari sushi using 2 rice cooker cups of rice. Recipe by soyumina
Inari Sushi (RTP's Homemade Style)
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. For 10 rolls. Recipe by RTP
Bear Shaped Inari Sushi
I wanted to bring along some easy-to-make and cutely formed inari sushi to a barbecue, so I made these.If you are going to eat these immediately, the dried pasta used to stick the pieces together will be too hard, so don't use it.If you are going to use the inari sushi in a bento, the pasta will have softened by the time they are eaten, so don't worry.

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-

Inari Sushi for Hanami or Sports Day
As long as I remember, I have been enjoying this taste. The fun crunchiness and the flavor of sesame and the pickled ginger make this. I've never seen leftovers when I bring this dish and kara-age to share. It's worth making.If you can find aburaage that is already cut for inari sushi, it will be easier The flavors of the sushi rice will blend together better if you cool it down with a fan after mixing in the sushi vinegar Putting the sauce on your hands makes it easier to shape the sushi rice without it sticking Gently squeeze the excessive sauce out from the aburaage before stuffing it with rice. For 16 pieces (540 ml of rice). Recipe by Yuuyuno mama
Delicious Even Cold! Our Family's "Inari Sushi"

Inari Sushi with a Twist - Wasabi Inari
There was a line for these in a department store deli. It probably tasted like this.Store-bought inari abura-age and grated wasabi in a tube is fine. When I couldn't find wasabi leaf, I made a mixture of 15 g wasabi-zuke (pickled wasabi) and sesame seeds. This recipe is not for those who don't like sake lees. My son didn't like these. If using wasabi-zuke, consume them as soon as possible. Recipe by Shampoo hat
Macrobiotic Soba Inari Sushi

For Bento & Hanami (Cherry Blossom Viewing) Inarizushi Made with Bread
There are inarizushi made with rice and soba noodles. I thought of making it with bread and arrived at this recipe .Toasting bread adds more flavour and makes the dish more delicious.You don't have to add mayonnaise (I just used it because it changes the flavour of the sandwiches a bit). Ketchup also works instead of mayonnaise. Recipe by Karun
