Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Inari tofu pockets
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh sieve under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes to steam.

Step 5

While the rice is cooking, prepare the vinegar mixture by combining rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice. Using a wooden spatula, gently fold the rice to evenly distribute the vinegar mixture. Be careful not to mash the rice.

Step 7

Let the sushi rice cool to room temperature.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix low-fat soy sauce and mirin.

Step 9

Gently open each inari tofu pocket and spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the sushi rice into each pocket, carefully pressing to fill the corners without tearing.

Step 10

Arrange the filled inari sushi on a serving plate and brush the top lightly with the soy sauce and mirin mixture for additional flavor.

Step 11

Sprinkle sesame seeds over each piece as a garnish.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
