'Inari-zushi' is the sushi rice wrapped in seasoned Abura-age (thin fried tofu). You can buy 'Inari-zushi no Moto' (seasoned Abura-age) at many Asian grocery stores. They come in cans and plastic shrink wrapped bags. If you want to cook Abura-age by yourself, the recipe is here.

Steps

1

Cut Abura-age in half and open them carefully. Pour very hot water over the Abura-age to remove oil from them.
2

Place all ingredients in a saucepan and cook Abura-age until the sauce thickens. Let them cool in the sauce.
3

Alternatively use ready-to-use 'Inari-zushi no Moto'. I recommend to empty the contents into a saucepan to heat, then cool. You can alter the flavour by adding more soy sauce or sugar.
