Inariage is a sweet and savory seasoned tofu skin, a key component in Inarizushi, a popular type of sushi in Japanese cuisine.
This ingredient is made by cooking tofu skins in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, resulting in a flavorful, slightly sweet pouch.
Chefs primarily use Inariage to make Inarizushi, stuffing these seasoned tofu skins with sushi rice, and also incorporate them into various other dishes, such as salads and side dishes, where they add a unique, mildly sweet flavor and a soft, pleasing texture.
