Because the sushi rice is wrapped in aburaage, it is called 'inarizushi'. Before filling aburaage with sushi rice, the aburaage needs to be cut in half and cooked in a sweet soy-flavoured broth until the liquid almost evaporates. The aburaage pieces become a bit darker and shiny. Inari sushi is made by filling a pouch of seasoned fried tofu (abura age) with sushi rice.

Instructions

Instructions to make Sushi Rolls Using Aburaage:

1. Place the aburaage 5 pieces at a time on a plate, and microwave (at 500 W) for 1 minute 20 seconds. The aburaage layers will separate and become less likely to rip.
2. Cut 3 open sides of each aburaage to make them into single sheets. This is easy if you use a pair of round-tipped scissors.
3. Blanch the opened up aburaage in boiling water to remove the oil on the surface. Put the ★ ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil, then add the aburaage. Use a pair of cooking chopsticks flipped around (so you are using the blunt ends).
4. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, and leave to cool in the pan. The aburaage tastes the best if you cook them the night before and leave them overnight to soak up the flavors.
5. Rinse the rice, drain into a sieve and leave for 30 minutes. Add the konbu seaweed, and cook in a rice cooker using just a little less water than usual.
6. Make the sushi vinegar by combining the ● ingredients. Empty the cooked rice into a bowl, and fold in the sushi vinegar.
7. Mix the salmon flakes and finely julienned ginger into the rice. Place an opened up aburaage sheet on a sheet of plastic wrap. Leave a gap on the far side and spread the sheet with the sushi rice. Roll it up using the plastic wrap.
8. Leave the roll for a while with the seam side down to let it settle, then cut into 6 pieces.

It is named after the Shinto god, Inari, who is said to have had a fondness for tofu. Named for the Shinto god Inari, Inarizushi is also known as "brown bag sushi" because the rice is packed in seasoned aburaage, or fried tofu pouches. Because the aburaage keeps the rice held together so well, and it's usually made with just rice inside, inarizushi is easy to eat, even when using your hands. The pickle roll-ups should rest in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up before cutting. Removing the ends ensures all the slices will lie flat, and makes for a better presentation.
