Soboro Mixed Inari-zushi step by step

1. If you use ready-to-use 'Inari-zushi no Moto', I recommend to empty the contents into a saucepan to heat, then cool. You can alter the flavour by adding more soy sauce or sugar..
2. If you cook by yourself, cut Abura-age in half and open them carefully. Pour very hot water over the Abura-age to remove oil from them. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and cook Abura-age until the sauce thickens. Let them cool in the sauce..
3. Cook Rice with slightly less amount of water to achieve firmer texture. Make Sushi Vinegar by mixing Rice Vinegar, Sugar and Salt..
4. When Rice is cooked and steamed, pour the Sushi Vinegar over the HOT rice, then empty it into a large mixing bowl. Mix it well gently and thoroughly, fanning the rice with a fan or piece of cardboard to help the rice cool quickly. Cover the Rice with a damp cloth to stop the Rice drying out..
5. Heat a small amount of Oil in a frying pan over low heat, cook Egg into firm and fine scrambled egg. Add to the Rice..
6. Cook Mince, grated Ginger, Carrot and Shiitake over medium heat. When cooked, add Baby Spinach, season with Sugar and Soy Sauce. Mix with the Rice and Egg..
7. Lightly squeeze the seasoned Abura-age, carefully open the bags, and fill the bags with the rice mixture..
