Inari Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Season the Tofu

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Marinate the tofu cubes in the mixture for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Coat the Tofu

    After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tofu

    In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the tofu is frying, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into slices.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Inari

    On a serving plate, arrange the crispy tofu and avocado slices. Add a dollop of red kosho on top and garnish with chopped green onions.
