Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the 1 cup sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt until dissolved. Fold this into the warm rice with a spatula, then let cool to room temperature.

  4. Step 4

    Gently open each of the 6 inari age pouches and stuff with about 2 tbsp of the seasoned rice, pressing lightly to fill the corners.

  5. Step 5

    Cut the 2 nori sheets into 6 strips each. Wrap one strip around the middle of each stuffed pouch, moistening the ends to seal.

  6. Step 6

    Top each inari sushi with a few microgreens. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.

  7. Step 7

    Optional: drizzle with soy sauce or a sweet glaze before serving if you like extra flavor.
