Product Information

Because the aburaage (tofu pouch) is lightweight and floats on the liquid, you will need a drop lid called Otoshibuta (落し蓋) when you simmer them in the pot. 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. When the rice is cooked, use a rice paddle to gently fold it a few times. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and mix in 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Be gently when you fold the rice and don’t over mix it as it will get mushy! Aburaage is cooked in sweet soy sauce to create inari sushi. The aburaage absorbs the sweet soy sauce at this point, so it is simmered until most of the liquid has gone.

I can’t emphasize enough that it’s important to use rice vinegar, not other types of vinegar you may have in the pantry. Rice vinegar is a lot milder than the other kinds of vinegar. The only brand I’ve been using ever since I started cooking is Mizkan Natural Rice Vinegar .The dish gets the name ‘Inari’ from a Japanese god of the same name. This deity is said to guard crops, as well as being a god of sake and fertility. A similar figure can be seen in a number of mythologies, such as Bacchus in Roman mythology or Dionysus in Greek mythology. Some Inari sushi is sweeter than others. Some inari sushi is little, while others are bigger and more rice-filled.

Store both in refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.Leave your aburaage to one side and pour your soy sauce, Japanese dashi broth, miso, and sugar into the same water in the pot. Repeat this process until all sides of the tofu are nice and golden except the "front" which we are going to carve out. Cool: Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool in the pot.This will help allow the aburaage to absorb more of the seasoning. Pour it over a strainer and then rinse with cold water to cool.
