Basic Ingredients- Store-bought Inari Sushi Kit (approx. 8 pieces)
- 2 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 1.5 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1.5 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
✨ Pro Tip 1! Cooking the rice with a pinch of salt added to the water will evenly season each grain, further enhancing the overall flavor of your inari sushi, much like the professional sushi you find in restaurants!
Step 2
In the warm cooked rice, add all the seasoning sauce and flakes included in the inari sushi kit. Then, add the sweet vinegar mixture prepared by dissolving 1.5 Tbsp sugar in rice vinegar. Mix gently with a rice paddle, holding it upright, to ensure the rice grains are not crushed and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3
Drain the inari pockets in a sieve. When doing this, carefully cut open one side of the inari pocket and then squeeze firmly with both hands to remove as much liquid as possible. This prevents the rice from becoming loose and ensures it adheres well to the inari. The firmer you squeeze, the better the taste!
Step 4
Using a spoon or your fingers, gently open up the pocket of the inari where you made the cut. Carefully spread the edges along the sides without damaging the shape, creating a good space for filling with rice.
Step 5
✨ Pro Tip 2! This is the secret to filling the inari pockets tightly and creating a beautiful shape. Take a generous spoonful of rice and lightly rest the tip of the spoon on the edge of the inari pocket, especially the corners, as a guide. Then, gently push the rice in with your thumb. This way, the rice will fill every nook and cranny, just like a professional would, resulting in a firm and aesthetically pleasing shape.
Step 6
Gently press the rice with the back of the spoon to shape the inari. If needed, add a little more rice and lightly tap with the spoon to form your desired inari sushi shape. Be careful not to press too hard, as this can make the rice dense.
Step 7
Arrange the carefully crafted inari sushi attractively on a plate. You can enjoy a more diverse flavor by topping with mayonnaise, mustard sauce, or sesame seeds according to your preference. Enjoy your delicious meal!
