"Inarizushi"


I like "inarizushi."
This is a one of the Japanese traditional food.
My grandmother sometimes made it for me.


It was made from seasoned deep-fried bean curd(It called "aburaage" in japan) and rice seasoned with vinegar and sugar.



I heard "Inari" means one of the Japanese God's name.
And fox is a servant of "Inari-God ."
"Aburaage" is a most favorite food for fox so this sushi called "inarizushi."
This is origin of "inarizushi."




Last friday, I went to supermarket and saw "aburaage."
Then I think want to eat "inarizushi" suddenly.
So the next day I made it.

4. Put bread crumbs that mixed with milk in 3.
5. Put 1 in 4 and make small ball .
6. Fly 5 with frying pan.

Making meat ball will take time.
But it is not difficult.
