Plastic Nigiri Mould - Makes Rice Blocks for Nigiri Sushi

Product Information

Vegetarian sushi is not traditionally Japanese but it is a type of sushi made without fish. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, including avocado, cucumber, sweet potato, and tofu. Anyway, there were two fillings that I remember being my favorites. One had the red japanese plum called Umeboshi in the middle of it. It kind of has a salty/sour taste to it. The other was called Okaka or Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes used to make dashi) and it was made by mixing Katsuobushi with soy sauce. Although this original version is good (and the way most recipes make it), my mother also added a little sugar to it and made it salty/sweet which I think made it ohhh, so much better. In Japan the school would take lots of field trips too. One of my favorite places to visit was Mt. Fuji. I'm sure you've seen pictures of that famous snow-capped Japanese mountain before, even if you didn't realize what it was called. My Mom always put onigiri in my lunch box for those trips. Funny how we tend to relate memorable childhood experiences with food :-) Inari Sushi Molds: Makes slim, cone-shaped molds ideal for stuffing deep-fried tofu pouches with sushi rice.
