Ingredients

Scale

Soba Inari

Toppings (suggestions)

  • agedama (tempura bits)
  • scallions
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • cucumbers
  • Japanese pickled
  • pickled ginger
  • edamame
  • perilla leaves

Instructions

  1. Cook the soba noodles following directions on package. Drain the water using a strainer and then rinse with cold water to cool. 
  2. Open the inari age all the way to the bottom with your fingers. Add soba noodles to fill 2/3 of the pouch. Add desired toppings.
  3. To close, fold the top flap over the bottom and then fold the right and left corners to the middle. Place on a plate sealed side down. You can also opt to keep it open by tucking in the rims for a cleaner look. Repeat until all inari age pieces are used up.
  4. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
