Tutor's tips
- •If using plain aburaage, simmer them in a mix of dashi, soy sauce, and sugar before stuffing.
- •Always use short-grain rice; long-grain varieties will not stick together sufficiently for the filling.
- •Dampen your fingers with a mix of water and vinegar to handle the rice without it sticking to your skin.
