I just wanted to share one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Basically it’s souped up inari, the sushi made with fried tofu pouches. What’s crazy is that it is even easier than straight inari, because these convenient little seasoning packets just get dumped into fresh rice, mixed around and put into pouches.
What you get is a seasoned rice that is stronger in taste than traditional sushi rice, with little slices of mushroom, lotus root and carrot in it, all wrapped up in a handy tofu package. With a little soy sauce and nori on the side, it’s an awesome little nosh. I’m pretty sure the seasoning mix has MSG and this much white rice at one go is not great for the glycemic index, but hey, it’s better than polishing off a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Right?
