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

Steps

1

[Stuff the rice]
Divide the rice in equal amounts and stuff it in the aburaage. I usually use a teaspoon.
2

[Aburaage 2]
When the simmering soup is almost gone, take out the aburaage in a sieve. Keep the remaining soup in the pot because you are going to use it for seasoning the burdock root.
3

[Aburaage 3]
When the aburaage has cooled down a little, squeeze it with your hands to drain the soup. Cut it into half (a triangle shape).
4

[Burdock root 1] Chop the burdock root. It's easier if you put a few vertical cuts and slice into rounds as you do to leeks.
5

[Burdock root 2]
Put the burdock root in the pot you just used to cook the aburaage (with the remaining soup) and simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
6

[Sushi rice] You can refer to. Mix the seasoned vinegar and the rice, and add the burdock root with the white sesame seeds.
7

[Stuff the rice]
Divide the rice in equal amounts and stuff it in the aburaage. I usually use a coffee spoon.
