Ingredients

• 10 pieces Inari tofu pouches
• 1.5 cups Short-grain sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 4 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Stevia
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin (sugar-free)

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 sushi rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover with a lid, reduce to low heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, stevia, and salt until properly combined. Pour this mixture over the slightly warm rice, and gently fold with a spatula to ensure even coating and to cool the rice further.

Step 6

Prepare the inari tofu pouches by gently squeezing out excess liquid, being careful not to tear them.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce and sugar-free mirin. Bring to a simmer over low heat, then remove from heat and let it cool. This is for additional flavor enhancement if desired.

Step 8

Carefully open each inari pouch and fill with seasoned rice, roughly 2 tablespoons per pouch, pressing slightly to ensure it holds together well.

Step 9

Arrange the filled inari sushi on a serving platter. Optionally, brush lightly with the soy sauce-mirin mixture for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to a few hours if preferred cool.
