Inari
Inari is super-easy to make, and if you already have cooked the
rice or have a rice cooker, the actual working time is about 10-15
minutes, depending on how gentle you need to be with your tofu pockets.
Ingredients
1 cup cooked warm medium grain rice
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup shredded carrots, lightly steamed
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 can aburage
Directions
- Mix together everything but the aburage and let sit to cool
and blend.
- Gently rinse the aburage. Squeeze gently and place on kitchen
towel to dry.
- When the rice has cooled, gently pry open a peice of aburage
and stuff it - gently! - about half full of the rice mixture.
Fold in one long side, fold in the ends, then fold over the other
long side. Place seam down on plate. Repeat with other peices
of aburage.
Serves four. Serve immediately or no more than 24 hours later
for best taste.
