Cooking Instructions
Step 1
I’ll show you how to make inari sushi that’s special and extra delicious! You can easily make this at home to enjoy a delightful meal.
Step 2
First, prepare the crab sticks by tearing them into pieces about two finger-widths long. Tearing them into slightly thicker strands retains a better texture. Finely chop the Cheongyang chili pepper. If you enjoy more heat, you can include the seeds. In a bowl, combine the torn crab sticks, chopped Cheongyang chili pepper, 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of mustard sauce. Also, add the seasoning mix that comes with the inari sushi kit.
Step 3
Next, open the fried tofu pouches from the kit and you’ll find a sweet syrup. Adding 1-2 tablespoons of this syrup to the sushi rice will significantly enhance the umami flavor, making it even more delicious. Add the syrup to the prepared sushi rice, then add the crab stick mixture you prepared earlier. Gently mix everything together with a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice grains. It’s important to mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to assemble the inari sushi. Carefully open each fried tofu pouch and fill it about two-thirds full with the seasoned sushi rice. Avoid overfilling, as it might cause the sushi to burst. After filling with rice, sprinkle the included sushi vinegar mix evenly over the rice. Gently press to shape the sushi.
Step 5
Finally, top the filled inari sushi with the spicy crab stick and Cheongyang chili pepper mixture you prepared. For an extra touch, you can drizzle a little more mayonnaise on top or sprinkle with sesame seeds for decoration. The combination of the sharp Cheongyang chili pepper, the tender crab sticks, and the sweet and sour inari sushi is truly exceptional.
Step 6
Isn’t that incredibly simple? These homemade spicy crab stick inari sushi are perfect as a snack for kids or a satisfying meal. They also make an excellent addition to a spread when entertaining guests. Enjoy making and savoring this delightful dish!
