Product Information

Before filling the pouch with rice, it is easier to make small oval rice balls, ready to put into the aburaage. Sushi Rice: Short grain cooked Japanese rice mixed with rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. A seasoned aburaage pouch for Inarizushi is sometimes called ‘ inariage’ (いなり揚げ) because it is abura age (油 揚げ) for I narizushi ( いなり寿司). Home-made Inari Sushi starts from cooking inariage at home. If you’re not using the inari age right away, you can keep them in an airtight container and store in the fridge/freezer.

Aburaage: Deep fried tofu pouches made by sling tofu into thin slices, removing the water and frying it in oil. Strain: pour over a strainer and rinse with cold water to help it cool. Then place the aburaage pieces between the palm of your two hands and squeeze as much of the excess water out. Sushi rice is the basic ingredient used for inarizushi. There are of course many different versions of inari sushi as it’s often prepared at home as part of a family meal. Take the other end of the inariage and cover the triangle – photo (8), so that the rice is covered with two layers of aburaage on the side facing up – photo (9).Plus, no one could know what sort of oil was used to deep-fry those pre-made tofu skin! It could be extremely old and could also be used again and again. And the very popular cooking oil that manufacturers often use is GMO cotton oil… Old cooked oil is stinky to start with. Also, when the food is covered with oil, food won’t absorb the flavour. So you need to remove the oil if you want it to absorb the flavour. When oil is removed, aburaage will become like a sponge (it’s texture is already sponge-like) and can easily absorb the flavour. Inari sushi is a type of sushi with rice balls wrapped in ‘Aburaage’ deep-fried tofu pouches. Known as Inarizushi in Japan this sushi is a little different. “Inari” the name, is derived from the “Inari” Shrine. For an offering to the shinto god Inari, this sushi was used. Because the favourite food of the Shinto god’ messenger fox is said to be Aburaage. Once cooled, gently and lightly squeeze between the palm of your hands. They should still remain juicy but not dripping in the liquid. Place in a air tight container. Reserve the seasoning liquid in a jar. Store both in refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. To keep inari sushi refrigerated for 1-2 days, place it in an air-tight container. The Best Way To Store And Reheat Sushi

Fried Bean Curd (50%) (Soybean, Soybean Oil), Glucose (from Corn Starch), Soy Sauce (Soy, Wheat, Salt), Sugar, Mirin, Food Acid (E330), Flavour Enhancer (E621 & E635). Whenever you need to cook aburaage, it is a common practice to pour boiling water over the aburaage or boil them so that excess oil can be removed. Squeeze the water out of the aburaage and they are ready to cook. There are different types of Inarizushi depending on the region in Japan. The shape can also be different.Cut the tofu in to thin slices, pat dry with kitchen towel. In a large sauce pan, heat up the vegetable oil to 110°C and deep fry the tofu slices until they puff up. Inari sushi is a type of sushi that has roots in the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. Inarizushi first made its appearance in the written record towards the end of the Edo period in a book called “Morisada Mankou (守貞漫稿),” a chronicle of the customs and various other things related to the three capitals of Japan – Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka. At the time, Inarizushi was a well-loved dish by the common people due to its affordability, delicious taste, and convenience. Some recipes also call for sake but I've found mirin adds enough flavour where the sake does not make much of a difference in this amount. Because the tofu skins contain moisture, they should be used immediately in soups or stored in the refrigerator or freezer for up to two days.
