Main Ingredients- Square seasoned Inari pockets 18 pcs
- Cooked rice 4 bowls
- Eggs 2 pcs
- Flying fish roe (Tobiko) 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for the fried rice. Finely dice the carrot, cucumber, chewy pickled radish, and pickled radish shreds. Mince the onion as well. (For a recipe with gimbap using pickled radish shreds, check here: https://blog.naver.com/koreastencil/223041923953)
Step 2
In a bowl, combine 4 bowls of cooked rice with the diced vegetables, the Inari sushi seasoning packet, and 1 Tbsp of flying fish roe.
Step 3
Season the rice mixture with 1 Tbsp of salt. Since the seasoned Inari pockets are already salty, you can adjust the saltiness to your preference.
Step 4
Whisk the 2 eggs and mix them into the rice. By adding the eggs directly to the rice instead of pre-scrambling them, each grain of rice gets coated in egg, resulting in a wonderfully soft and savory texture that kids especially love!
Step 5
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Your delicious fried rice is now ready to be cooked.
Step 6
Heat a pan over medium heat, add cooking oil, and stir-fry the minced garlic and chopped green onions until fragrant. Cook until the green onions soften.
Step 7
Add the fried garlic and green onions to the pan, then add the rice mixture with the egg. Using a spatula, quickly break up any clumps and stir-fry over high heat until the rice is fluffy.
Step 8
Once the rice is slightly dry and fluffy, sprinkle with pepper. Using freshly ground black pepper at this stage will add a richer aroma and better flavor.
Step 9
Your delicious fried rice, beautifully colored by the egg, is complete. The seasoning is not too strong due to the inherent saltiness of the seasoned Inari pockets. Now, carefully open the square Inari pockets, scoop in a generous portion of the fried rice, and shape it to fill the pocket snugly.
Step 10
You’ve now created delightful fried rice Inari sushi using your leftover gimbap ingredients! Enjoy these savory and slightly sweet ‘fried rice Inari pockets’, which are bursting with flavor thanks to the seasoned Inari, even without any additional sushi vinegar.
