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.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove the excess oil from the aburaage (by pouring hot water or with a paper towel). Roll a chopstick over them, slice in half, then use the tip of the chopstick to peel the layers to form pockets.

  2. 2

    Place all the ○ ingredients into a large pot and once it boils, add the aburaage. Alternate low to high heat while boiling (7 to 8 minutes).

  3. 3

    When most of the broth has evaporated, remove from heat to cool the aburaage. Lightly squeeze out the excess cooking liquid and pack with sushi rice.

  4. 4

    If you have leftover aburaage, top on a bowl of udon or soba noodles.
