Ingredients
  

  • 20 Inari pockets
  • 350 gm raw sushi rice
  • 1040 litre water
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 60 ml sushi rice vinegar
  • 60 ml sushi seasoning
  • 1 nori sheet
  • 1 cheese slice
  • 1 raw carrot sliced thinly
  • 1 fried egg white only (reserve the yolk)
  • 1 egg additional
  • 2 tsp black sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the rice in the internal basket until the water runs clear.
  • Add the water, sugar, salt and rice vinegar to the TM bowl.
  • Place the rice which is still in the internal basket into the TM bowl. Cook 20min/100 degrees/Speed 4.
  • Place the egg and additional egg yolk into a small bowl and whisk briefly, add a little salt if desired.
  • Gently fry the omelette and reserve on a plate for later.
  • Hole punch the nori sheets and reserve the "eyes" for the sushi animals.
  • Use a small biscuit cutter or pipe to cut noses from the egg white.
  • Use a small fluted cookie cutter to make scales for the fish. 
  • Chop any remaining cheese, carrot and egg up into strips and reserve.
  • Once the rice is cooked remove the internal steaming basket and place the rice into a large bowl. Discard the water.
  • Add the sushi seasoning to the rice immediately and gently turn the rice over being careful not to break the pieces of rice.
  • Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the rice and continue to gently turn and fan the rice until it's cool enough to handle.
  • Open each tofu pocket and 3/4 fill with the rice. If desired choose to add a carrot, egg or cheese surprise to the middle.
  • Wet your hands between each pocket to stop the rice from sticking.
  • Continue this process until all the 20 pockets are stuffed and there isn't any rice leftover.
  • Close half the tofu pockets by folder one side over the other and turning the Inari over to sit on the opening.
  • The remaining Inari sushi pockets are then decorated with the eyes, noses and scales to become pandas' and fish.
  • Refrigerate until required.

Notes

The sushi pockets can be kept in the fridge for up to five days.
