Inari Stuffed With Crab Recipe

	Xerxes / All my dishes 9 months, 1 week ago I just threw this together one time for a dinner party I went to. I was assigned hors d' ouvres, and as it turned out, I made way too few. They were gone in about 3 minutes! If you don't know what inari are, they are little soy pouches that are no... More Prep:20m Cook:20m Servings:12	Xerxes

Ingredients

1 dozen fresh or dried inari. If using dried inari, you'll need to steam them for a few minutes in a bamboo steamer over boiling water, about 10 min

16 oz fresh or tinned crabmeat

2 Tbsp wasabi mayonnaise (found at asian markets or finer grocers)

1/4 cup fresh snipped chives

2-3 sheets yakinori (the seaweed sheets used for sushi making)

6 eggs, beaten

olive or vegetable oil

Directions

Steam the inari as described above, set aside on a paper towel

In a medium bowl, mix the crabmeat with the wasabi mayonnaise. If you can't find wasabi mayonnaise, most stores carry wasabi by itself. Simply mix it with regular mayo or cool whip 1:3

add in the chives

fill each inari with the crab salad. Take care not to overstuff them, so you can fold the open end under to seal. Set these aside

Heat a large griddle or skillet, and add the oil

pour in half the beaten eggs, as though making an omelette, however do not fold in half

once done, turn out the flat omelette onto a large plate or clean cutting board.

place enough yakinori sheets over the flat omelette to completely cover it.

Repeat the omelette step above, except this time turn out the 2nd one on top of the yakinori, thus making an egg/yakinori sandwich. Let this whole thing chill for about 10 min in the refrigerator.

Once chilled cut the egg/yakinori into 2"X2" squares

place a crab-stuffed inari on each egg square. Skewer each one with a toothpick and serve.

Photo to follow soon! I promise!

This sounds really good. I've been to Japan twice and have had inari usually filled with rice and quite sweet. This would be a nice change.

These sound delicious. If I still lived in Los Angeles I could easily find Inari, however, out here in the middle of the desert I am miles from anything even close to an Asian market. Still, maybe I can find a way. Thanks; it's a 5.
