Description
Crispy, sweet, and umami-packed, Inari Sushi features marinated tofu pouches filled with seasoned sushi rice, making it a delightful Japanese snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 320 g (1.5 cups) sushi rice
- 6 pieces inari (fried tofu pockets)
- 100 ml (1/2 cup) rice vinegar
- 25 g (2 tbsp) sugar
- 10 g (1 tsp) salt
- Optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or pot according to manufacturer’s instructions for about 20 minutes.
- Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Transfer cooked rice to a bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Open the inari pockets and fill each with a small handful of sushi rice. Repeat until all pockets are filled.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of the filled Inari Sushi if desired.
Notes
Avoid overcooking the sushi rice; it should be tender but not mushy. For best results, store filled Inari Sushi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
