Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 4 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 10 pieces Inari age (fried tofu pockets, gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water. Let it soak for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Cover the saucepan and bring the rice to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to finish steaming.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Add the vinegar mixture and gently fold it into the rice with a wooden paddle or spatula. Be careful not to mash the rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix tamari, and mirin to make a seasoning mixture for the inari age.

Step 8

Carefully open each inari age pouch and coat the insides with a little of the seasoning mixture.

Step 9

Take a small amount of seasoned rice (about two tablespoons) and gently form it into an oblong shape.

Step 10

Carefully stuff the formed rice into each inari age pouch, being mindful not to tear the pockets.

Step 11

Once all the inari pockets are filled, place them on a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 12

Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Enjoy your gluten-free inari sushi!
