How to Prepare Sushi Grains in Fried Tofu Pockets [Vegan]
- If you are preparing your own seasoned inari sushi pouches, cut each piece ofabura agé tofu across in half. Pour boiling water over them, then drain and squeeze them carefully to remove the oil.
- In a medium pot, bring the flavoring broth to a boil, add the tofu pockets and reduce the heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, turning now and then. Drain and cool until you can handle them. Gently squeeze out excess liquid.
- Whichever type of seasoned pouches you are using-- store-bought or home-prepared-- carefully separate one “wall” of each pocket from the other to make the pouches.
- Dump the hot cooked rice (make sure it is tender) and the millet or quinoa into a large shallow baking dish. Mix the sugar and salt with the vinegar and wine until it is dissolved. Pour this over the hot rice. Turn the rice mixture with a small spatula (wooden, preferably, or a bamboo rice paddle), using an over-and-under-motion, until the mixture is cool. (Traditionally, you fan the rice while you mix.)
- Add the peas and carrots and a bit of the optional toasted sesame seeds, if you like. Stuff the pockets carefully and evenly (there should be just enough filling for 16 pockets). Traditionally the pouches are not stuffed full and the pouch is pinched closed at the top, but, as you can see in the pictures, I usually fill them full and leave them open at the top.
- If you like, you can dip the tops in toasted sesame seeds. Serve at room temperature. Rice gets hard when refrigerated, which spoils the texture of the dish, so the sushi pouches should be eaten the same day they are made.
