- 2 cups of cooked Sushi-rice
- 4 pieces abura-age (deep fried tofu)
- 3 tbsp toasted black sesame
- ¼ carrot
- 4 shiitake mushroom
- ½ cup dashi stock
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- For simmering abura-age:
- 1½ cup dashi stock
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp sake
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- First peel the carrot and cut into 2-3 ㎝ julienne strips. Cut the shiitake mushroom into julienne strips same to size for carrot. Simmer the carrot and shiitake mushrooms in the simmering liquid over a low heat until seasoned thoroughly and set aside.
- Put the abura-age on cutting board and roll one chopstick. Cut the abura-age in half and open each pocket using fingertips.
- Boil the dashi stock, add the sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce. Simmer for 5 min, then cover with a drop-lid and simmer until the liquid is gone.
- Add the black sesame, carrot and shiitake mushrooms, to the sushi-rice and mix.
- Squeeze the simmered abura-age lightly to remove moisture, fill each abura-age pocket with the sushi rice, and adjust the shape.
