Spicy Ahi Tuna Inari Sushi

Recipe Credit: Dinorah Rodriguez @itsdinorah Full Recipe Video: My go-to DIY Sushi is Inari Sushi! Inari Sushi is seasoned sushi rice stuffed into a seasoned fried bean curd pocket, which can be eaten as is or topped with a protein or veggie. I've shared a few variations on Instagram Reels @itsdinorah. Inari is one of my favorite sushi because of the seasoned fried bean curd, it's sweet, salty, tangy, and the perfect vehicle for a mouthful of sushi rice and in this case fresh & spicy ahi tuna.

Step 1

In a medium pot bring short grain brown rice, 1.75 cup of water and avocado oil to a boil.

Step 2

After it boils, lower the heat to low and cover for 45 minutes.

Step 3

In a small sauce pot on medium heat simmer rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool

Step 4

Add cooled seasoned rice vinegar to cooked rice and stir. The rice will appear to be wet but the rice will absorb the seasoned rice vinegar and will dry as it cools.

Step 5

In a bowl combine cubed ahi tuna, kewpie mayo, Korean chilli sauce ( sriracha can be used, I had the K Pop Korean Hot Sauce in my pantry), mirin, truffle soy sauce (again regular soy sauce can be used), and toasted sesame seed oil. Stir and set aside

Step 6

Carefully open the center of each Inari / seasoned fried bean curd pocket and fill with 2 tablespoons of seasoned brown sushi rice.

Step 7

Place sliced scallions on top of the rice followed by the spicy tuna.

Step 8

Drizzle sushi with unagi sauce (eel sauce) and top with Furikake Japanese rice seasoning.

Step 9

Enjoy!
