Main Ingredients- 20 sheets of fried tofu pockets for sushi (Inari)
- 1 bowl of cooked rice (approx. 200g)
- 3 sticks of crab sticks (imitation crab meat)
Rice Seasoning- 1 packet of seasoned stir-fry mix (e.g., with vegetables or seafood)
- 1 packet of sushi vinegar seasoning mix
Crab Stick Filling- 1/4 onion, finely minced
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp wasabi paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 packet of seasoned stir-fry mix (e.g., with vegetables or seafood)
- 1 packet of sushi vinegar seasoning mix
Crab Stick Filling- 1/4 onion, finely minced
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp wasabi paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp sugar
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl of warm cooked rice, add the sushi vinegar seasoning mix and the contents of the seasoned stir-fry packet. Gently mix with a rice paddle, being careful not to mash the grains. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the rice for a deeper flavor.
Step 2
Shred or finely chop the crab sticks. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded crab sticks, finely minced onion, mayonnaise, wasabi paste, sugar, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. You can adjust the amount of wasabi to your preference; add more for a spicier kick.
Step 3
Prepare the inari pockets. Carefully open each fried tofu pocket and gently press down to flatten the inside. Fill each pocket about two-thirds full with the seasoned rice. Press the rice down firmly to create space for the crab stick filling. Avoid overfilling with rice, as this will make it difficult to add the filling.
Step 4
Spoon a generous amount of the crab stick mixture from Step 2 onto the rice in each inari pocket. Gently spread it evenly over the rice for a neat presentation.
Step 5
Repeat the process to fill the remaining inari pockets. Arrange the finished crab stick inari sushi attractively on a serving plate. You can garnish with seaweed flakes or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy these colorful and delicious sushi rolls for a delightful meal!
