How to make Aburaage for Inarizushi How to make Aburaage for Inarizushi
My friend confirmed with me that she got this recipe from a very old cookbook for Japanese dishes. This aburaage tastes wonderful although it only requires the simplest ingredients. I'm quite lazy, and yet I stopped buying aburaage for inarizushi after I learned this recipe.I've omitted the steps to strain the oil from the aburaage. Make sure to do it if it bothers you. You only use the minimum ingredients when making 8 sheets. So, once the mixture boils and the ingredients melts, turn the heat very low and let the seasonings soak into the aburaage. Take care not let it burn. Recipe by Suppaiko 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 -
