Inari Sushi

Overview

------------------------------------- A traditional Japanese dish, Inari sushi is a type of Japanese sushi, which is made of sushi rice wrapped in delicious tofu skin. It is said that the Japanese fox spirit (Inari) likes this kind of sushi very much, and it seems to have the effect of restoring strength after eating it. Tianhu Konghuan in "There is a Fox Fairy in My Family" once said that after eating it, he felt like he had gained the world. Guanhu (nine-tailed demon fox) in "XXXHolic" likes fried tofu, but after eating it, the markings on its head will disappear little by little. The owner Yuko said it was because fried tofu skin seemed to be an impure thing. --------------------------------------- There should not be too much water in the fried tofu, otherwise the rice balls will fall apart easily. You should squeeze out the water first and then add the rice balls. The origin of fried tofu sushi is not clear. According to Japanese historical records: In the Edo area, people cut off one side of fried tofu, made it into a pocket shape, put rice mixed with mushroom shreds and páo melon shreds, and then sold it. This is the only known record of the origin of fried tofu sushi. Today, fried tofu sushi has become a favorite food of men, women and children.
