Ingredients
- 10 Perilla leaves (깻잎)
- 150g Cabbage
- 1/2 Bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 2 sheets Gim (seaweed for kimbap)
- 10 Roll-type Inari pockets (seasoned fried tofu)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the perilla leaves thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Prepare them for use. The fragrant aroma of perilla leaves will enhance the overall flavor of the inari sushi.
Step 2
Finely shred the cabbage. It’s best to slice it thinly to maintain a crisp texture.
Step 3
Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and cut it into stick-like pieces, similar in size to matchsticks. Using a variety of colorful bell peppers, like red and yellow, will make the rolls visually appealing.
Step 4
Cut the cucumber into quarters lengthwise. Then, use a spoon to gently scoop out and remove the seeds from the center. Removing the seeds helps prevent excess moisture, which can make the rice soggy.
Step 5
Cut the deseeded cucumber into sticks, similar in size to the bell pepper strips. This will add a refreshing crunch to your rolls.
Step 6
Cut the kimbap seaweed sheets into 6-8 rectangular pieces. These will act as a wrapper to hold the inari sushi rolls together securely.
Step 7
Prepare the roll-type inari pockets. You can use them as they are, without any additional seasoning. The inherent sweet and savory flavor of the inari tofu complements the rice and vegetables perfectly.
Step 8
Place a piece of the cut kimbap seaweed onto one roll-type inari pocket. The seaweed acts as a base, helping to keep the fillings from sliding out.
Step 9
Arrange one perilla leaf neatly on top of the seaweed. The aromatic scent of the perilla leaf will infuse into the rice and inari, adding another layer of flavor.
Step 10
Layer the shredded cabbage, bell pepper sticks, and cucumber sticks attractively on top of the perilla leaf. Stacking the colorful vegetables will create beautiful and delicious inari sushi rolls.
Step 11
Carefully and firmly roll the inari pocket from the side, enclosing all the ingredients. Ensure the roll is compact so it doesn’t fall apart. Your delicious Vegetable Inari Sushi Rolls are now complete! Enjoy your culinary creation.
