Ingredients- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 14 pieces of inari sushi pockets (from a kit)
- Mozzarella cheese, as much as you like (to taste)
- Milk, about 3-4 tablespoons (to adjust consistency)
- Honey, about 1-2 tablespoons (to enhance sweetness, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Steam them in a steamer basket for about 20-30 minutes until very soft, or microwave them for 5-7 minutes. While the cooked sweet potatoes are still warm, mash them until smooth using a fork or a potato masher. If the mashed sweet potato is too dry, gradually add milk and mix until you achieve your desired consistency. Finally, add honey to taste for a little extra sweetness.
Step 2
Add the prepared mozzarella cheese generously to the mashed sweet potato. Mix everything together until the cheese is well incorporated into the sweet potato. This will create a creamy and savory sweet potato cheese filling. Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to your preference.
Step 3
Prepare the inari sushi pockets from the kit. Carefully spoon the sweet potato cheese filling into each pocket. Make sure to fill them completely without tearing the delicate tofu pockets. Press gently to ensure an even distribution of the filling.
Step 4
Arrange the filled inari sushi rolls in your air fryer basket. Cook at 160°C (320°F) for 10 minutes. Then, carefully flip the sushi rolls over and cook at 170°C (340°F) for another 10 minutes. This process will lightly toast the inari pockets and melt the cheese beautifully. (Please adjust cooking time and temperature based on your air fryer’s specifications.)
Step 5
Your delicious cheesy sweet potato inari sushi rolls are now ready! Enjoy them warm for the best flavor experience, with the melted cheese and sweet potato creating a delightful taste. They are also perfect for packing as a lunch once cooled.
