That’s fine. I don’t think there’s a huge difference between the canned and plastic packaged inari… use what you can find! I should go find some canned inari so I can compare the two.

The only way I can find inari here in Phila. is in the can. I think it’s alot easier to use.You just open the can and stuff away. It’s really tastey out of the can, it’s kind of sweet with a strong taste of the soy sauce. Just thought I would post this in case some one was thining of using the inari in the can.

Check out the nutrition facts on the recipes… they can help you determine whether it is something that you are comfortable eating during your diet. Also, notice that these include shrimp and a ton of other stuff… if you want the plain inari sushi nutrition facts, they can be found here.

I’ve been eating these at my school and they are very addicting! But I was wondering if these are good to eat when I’m trying to diet? Thanks!

Yvo - Haha I love your comparison to dim sum! I would love to be able to travel like you do... hehe maybe someday!

Lara - Thanks so much for describing how to prepare the canned aburaáge (inari packets)! I'm definitely going to have to put a note on my inari recipe for those of you who use the canned aburaáge!

Finally picked up a can of the Hime brand inarizushi-no-moto at the city market where we have an oriental grocery store. There’s another place I can check as well. I haven’t opened the flip top can yet but, according to web site I’ve checked out, but there are supposed to be about 16 inari in the can. As to cooking method … you just take them out of the can and stuff with rice. But, I’m pretty sure that I saw a recipe somewhere which suggests pouring a bit of boiling water over the contents to get rid of some of the extra oil and probably to warm them up a bit. Drain quickly and squeeze the inari gently to get the extra water out and then stuff. The inari must retain enough of the seasoning to still have that sweet taste we love.

At $4.59 (CDN) for a can, it’s a better deal than buying a single inari for $2.25 at my local sushi restaurant.

A LJ I read suggested pouring some of the liquid in the can into your sushi rice for extra flavour.
