INSTRUCTIONS
Mix ingredients for the glaze until sugar is completely dissolved. Take 2-3 scoops of rice and put into another mixing bowl. Drizzle 2-3 tsps. of the glaze and toss. Fan the rice as you do this so the rice takes on a nice shine. Keep doing this with the rest of the rice and glaze. In a skillet, lay out the tofu pouches. Mix the soy sauce and sugar. The consistency should be very watery, add a small amount of water if it is too thick. Pour the mixture over the pouches. Cover the skillet and steam on low heat until the pouches absorb some of the soy sauce mixture. The pouches look tan coming out of the can, but get a bit darker after the steaming. Open the pouches carefully so as not to tear them and stuff with 1-2 heaping teaspoons of the sushi rice. We've found using a regular teaspoon from our tablesetting works well to open the pouch and stuff them as well. Serve as a side dish. Typically this style of sushi is eaten as is without wasabi.
