Fried Tofu and Filling

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, usually using a rice cooker or a pot with a 1:1 ratio of rice to water.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the rice. Allow it to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a separate bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Fill the Inari Tofu Pockets

    Take an Inari tofu pocket and gently open it. Fill it with a scoop of the seasoned sushi rice, followed by a spoonful of the crab mixture. Press gently to close the pocket.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the filled Inari pockets on a serving plate and drizzle with soy sauce before serving. Enjoy!
