Inari Sushi aka Stuffed Tofu Pouches

Sunday, February 17, 2019 0 Comments A+ a-


I am a big fan of inari sushi aka stuffed tofu pouches. Inari is a must-order item every time I patron at the sushi restaurants. Unfortunately inari sushi is not commonly found in the sushi menu here (in Europe). So, in order to satisfy my craving from inari sushi, I decided to make my own at home.


The inari tofu wraps can be easily found in most of the Asian grocers here. There are 12 sheets of wraps in the packet, and it costs about €6 i.e. €0.50 per sheet.


These wraps are pre-seasoned and are packed with great flavour - sweet and salty flavour. So if you prefer a light flavour inari sushi, you may skip to season your sushi rice.

Ingredients

12 sheets of pre-seasoned inari tofu wraps
380g cooked rice
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp sesame oil
a pinch of salt

Directions
1. Mix cooked rice together with sesame oil, salt and sesame seeds.
2. Shape the seasoned rice into 12 individual rice balls. Set aside for later use.
3. Preheat the bag of inari directly into hot water for 1 min.
4. Remove the sheets one by one.
5. Carefully open the pouches and stuff the rice ball into the pouch.
6. Tuck both edges inside to make a pillow shape.
Repeat the same with the remaining pouches.

12 inari sushi are definitely not enough to satisfy my tummy, so I made additional kimbap. What a sushi feast!
