Inari Sushi
- 5 Aburaage
- 300 ml Dashi stock
- 2 tbsp Light brown or brown sugar crystals
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 2 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 dash Salt
- 360 ml White rice
- 5 cm Kombu

- Cut the aburaage in half, open them up, and de-grease with a swift pour of hot water.
- Place them in a pot of the ingredients brought to a simmer.
- Simmer over medium heat and cool down as is in the mixture.
- Wash the rice 30 minutes before cooking.
- Drain in a colander.
- Put rice, 360 ml water, sake, and konbu seaweed into the rice cooker and cook.
- When it's done, transfer into a handai (sushi rice tub) or a bowl.
- As you fan over the rice, add vinegar to the rice and cut it in with a spatula.
- Squeeze the aburaage lightly to remove any liquid.
- Lightly squeeze a portion of the rice into barrels and stuff in the aburaage.
- Aburaage In Japan, we may also call them "aburage"or just simply "age."
- As opposed to the thick ones called "atsuage," we call the thin ones "usuage".
- There are also other kinds called "inari age" and "sushi age".
- The age in the photo above is from my favorite tofu store.
