"Fox Sushi"

Word to the wise: don't eat cooking tofu.

I know, I know...

I eat raw fish all the time, myself.

Raw foods are supposed to cleanse your body, yeah?

Well... maybe cooking tofu isn't the same as raw tofu.
Sorry, tummy.

On a much lighter note,

I went to the store and bought
age {tofu pockets}
today,

so I could make
one of my favorite Japanese dishes:

fox sushi.

Like most recipes,
there are five-billion-and-one ways to make it.
But here's what I do
when I just want a simple snack:

{this will serve 1-2 people}
Cook one cup of medium-grain white rice,
put it in a wide container
and drizzle it with tepid water.
Using a rice server (utensil), cut vertical lines in the rice.
{This will help it cool nice and even.}

Next, get your age ready!

Drain the packet
and extract a tofu pocket.

Separate the tofu pocket
so you can stick some yummy rice inside.

Fill the pocket until it's almost full.

Seal the pocket ends
so the rice can't make a mad dash for the floor.

And, voila!
Itadakimasu!

Ain't that a perdy sight? Mmm.
For variations, add things to the rice
like sesame seeds, fish, etc.
Ah, Japanese cooking ♥.
