Instead of the sushi rice used in inarizushi, fried tofu pouches are stuffed with a filling of ground chicken and tofu mixed with plenty of finely chopped shiso leaves, then shaped into bite-sized pieces. Just sear them and simmer for 10 minutes in a sweet-savory broth, and the flavor soaks deep into the pouches, giving you a moist, tender filling with the fragrance of shiso.
