- Inari Zushi - fried tofu pouches (abura-age) cooked in a seasoned stock and stuffed with sushi rice - is excellent picnic and bento lunch fare.
- Carefully open each bean curd pouch, gently breaking apart the network of tofu inside. Carefully rinse in warm water and drain completely in a colander; gently press with plastic spatula to remove excess water.
- Bring dashi, sugar and soy sauce to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add in pouches. Cook till about 80 percent of the liquid is absorbed, turning the pcs several times to ensure an even color and flavor.
- Drain the pouches in a colander. These can be prepared to this point ahead of time and refrigerated overnight in a covered container, or possibly they can be frzn.
- In a bowl, combine the rice vinegar with the 2 c. water. (This mix will be used to wet your hands while filling the pouches.) Wet fingers of both hands and open a tofu pocket to make a football-shaped container. Stuff rice carefully into pouch, tucking and folding over the open edges to enclose the rice. Fill remaining pouches.
- Stand the filled pouches with the cut portion facing the bottom.
- Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger.
- Variations: Add in sesame seeds, cooked mushrooms, peas, bamboo shoots, julienned carrots or possibly finely minced walnuts to the rice before stuffing it into the pouches.
- Note: Find fried bean curd pouches (abura-age or possibly sushi age) in the tofu aisle of Asian markets.
- Note: Make dashi from hondashi bonito fish soup stock mix (follow directions on package) or possibly from instant dashi mix (about 1/2 tsp. hondashi to 1 1/2 c. water).
