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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put all the seasonings into a pot that's large enough to put in all of the aburaage. Bring it to a quick boil to dissolve the sugar.
- 2
Turn the heat down, and add the aburaage. Cover with a drop lid (otoshibuta) and simmer. Once the sauce has slightly reduced, flip the aburaage over with a spatula and continue to simmer (this less likely to damage the aburaage than using chopsticks).
- 3
Turn the heat off once the aburaage has browned. You can store them without squeezing. To freeze, spread them out nicely and wrap in plastic wrap.

You can use these multipurpose aburaage to make inarizushi, as udon topping, or simply to cook other meals. Freeze them for later use.

Easy Inarizushi Easy Inarizushi
I experimented with cooking aburaage easily in the microwave.Microwave ovens vary, so please adjust the cooking times accordingly. The aburaage (thin fried tofu) will absorb flavors better if you get rid of the surface oil, but you can skip that step and they'll still be fine. They open up easier if you roll over them with a pestle or similar, but you don't have to do that either. For 10 inarizushi. Recipe by Kirarinagareboshi -

Yuzu Inarizushi Yuzu Inarizushi
I saw yuzu inari in a shop, but they stopped selling it before I could buy it. I really wanted to try it, so I imagined what it would taste like and came up with this.If you don't have yuzu jam, you can use the skin of yuzu citrus fruits! Adjust the amount of jam and sugar to your taste. You can use leftover rice, just warm it in the microwave! Follow the instructions of the sushi vinegar you are using and mix in the suggested amount. The abura-age has a strong taste, so it's better for the rice to have a light taste. It's nice if the rice is on the hard side. Recipe by chieko333 -
