Inari Sushi - aburaage

Method

• Cut the square aburaage diagonally in half.
• (Maybe this is Kansai-style?)
• Boil water, then pour the boiling water over the aburaage to drain excess oil.
• Put the seasonings into a pot and bring to a boil.
• Add the aburaage and boil for 3-4 minutes.
• Once it's very lightly browned with the seasonings, turn the heat to medium and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
• When they come to the surface, lightly press back down.
• Now, let it sit overnight!!!
• If you do this, it will soak up the flavor thoroughly.
• It's a bit of a pain, but it's essential.
• Fill your inari sushi with whatever you desire!!
• The tofu is so well-seasoned that you just can't fail!!
• The aburaage is sweet, so use something acidic.
