I never thought to mix and match grains, and I have no idea why – I think I have all those different things hanging about in neglected packets, so I think its time to rejuvenate them next time I get the rice steamer out. No idea where I’m going to get my hands on those tofu pockets though! I’ll check the Japan Centre tomorrow!

I also like the ones stuffed with the rice/veggie mix. I have a hard time not buying these when I see it at a Japanese market or Korean market

I love the pretty in pink shade the rice turned! Now…to find tofu pouches…

You are your creativity! I’ve never been the hugest fan of Inari as I often don’t go for the sweet-ish-ness of the tofu pocket, but you say things like bulghur and poppy seeds and I swoon.

And then there’s this post, that has lots of photos of the whole process: http://shizuokagourmet.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/tofu-recipe-aburaage/

Hope that helps some! :)

I can keep dreaming…
