Inari Sushi [Ingredients] *Serves 2 6 slices abura-age ( Deep-fried tofu pouches) Simmering liquid: 400ml dashi 25ml mirin 40g coarse sugar 30ml soy sauce Prepared sushi rice: 2 cups rice 5cm square piece of dried kombu Sushi vinegar: 100ml rice vinegar 60g granulated sugar 20g salt 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted Gari (pickled ginger) [Method] 1. Roll chopsticks on the abura-age to incorporate the air inside and then cut them in half. Blanch them in hot water for a minute to wash off some of their oil. Drain abura-age in a colander to let them cool and dry the excess water and oil with paper towels. 2. For simmering the abura-age, heat dashi, mirin, coarse sugar and soy sauce until they are mixed well. Add the abura-age, then cover them with a drop lid and gently simmer them for 10 to 15 minutes over low heat. Keep on simmering them until the simmering liquid evaporates completely. Be careful not to let the abura-age get completely dried. It is important to keep them moist with the liquid. Lay the abura-age on a tray and let them cool. 3. Next is the preparation of sushi rice. Cook the rice with the kombu in it. For seasoning the rice, mix vinegar, sugar and salt together over heat and cool it after they are dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a wooden tub, pour the vinegar mixture on top of the rice and mix them with a cutting motion. Fan the rice occasionally while you are mixing it with the other ingredients, so that the rice would not absorb extra moisture from air and vinegar mixture. Cover the wooden tub with a clean damp cloth to let the grains absorb the vinegar. Mix in the sesame seeds. 4.
