Gomoku Inari Sushi (sushi wrapped in seasoned fried tofu pockets)
“Inari Sushi” is a Japanese soul food formed with vinegared rice tucked inside little deep-fried tofu pockets. Of course, cook the rice with the soaking water from the Shiitake.
Other than dried Shiitake mushrooms, we use a lot of Sun-dried ingredients, such as Dried Daikon & Carrot Strip Mix, Dried burdock, Gourd shavings, Hijiki, white sesame.
