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

Flavorful Inari Sushi 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 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 -
Inari Sushi 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 cookpad.japan -

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 -
