The most important part of sushi is the rice, since it makes up so much of the dish. It can’t be too soft or too hard, too dry or too moist. The rice also needs to be seasoned properly to complement what it’s paired with.
For lunch today, I prepared Inari sushi. Inari is Japanese for their sweetened tofu. The tofu are little pockets that are stuffed with sushi rice. Inari sushi is a great meal for lunch since they’re small two-bite pieces that can’t get damaged in the transportation process (unlike my sushi last time which got crushed in the transportation process :( ). To make it a little more interesting, I added some wakame salad before stuffing the pockets with rice. The sushi rice is seasoned with sushi vinegar and lightly with aji nori furkikake (seasoned seaweed & sesame mix).
