If you want a healthy party snack or an appetizer before a meal, an inari sushi dish is a great choice. Sesame seeds (white, black, or both), add some crunch and nutrition to the pockets, so sprinkle some on top if desired. Put short grain rice in a pot or rice strainer (my mother liked using the one I have here in New York so much that she bought one for herself back in Japan) and rinse under cold water in swishing motion (to remove excess starch) for 1-2 minutes, until water runs clear. Unlike plain white rice, Korean purple rice has a deep nutty flavor with excellent texture in every bite.

With your seasoned and pressed aburaage ready to go, the next step is to roll your sushi rice into uniform sized balls. This simple dish is highly adaptable too, and once you’ve perfected the basic techniques of preparing aburaage and creating the rolls, you can start to experiment with different seasonings and fillings.
