Stickier than you see here, so use a freshly steamed batch of rice, rather than leftovers, for making your fried rice. I filled these all the way, but you can hand form nice little rice rectangles, as if you were making sushi, and fold over the edges of the skins for a more football-like presentation. Footballs are best at room temp, despite the warnings about leaving cooked rice out. A batch of fried rice might sit out on the stove for a few hours, so anyone walking through the kitchen\u00a0could grab a scoop. In 30 years, no one was ever sick, so take that as you will. You&#8217;ve been warned (and not warned).<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"The Rule of Fried Rice\" href=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/2014\/03\/02\/grandmas-bacon-fried-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\">UN-RECIPE: Grandma&#8217;s Fried Rice<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-12496\" src=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/shirakiku-inari-package-dailywaffle.jpg\" alt=\"shirakiku inari package | dailywaffle\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/shirakiku-inari-package-dailywaffle.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/shirakiku-inari-package-dailywaffle-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/shirakiku-inari-package-dailywaffle-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So where do you get the actual football skins &#8212; the <em>inari age<\/em>? \u00a0They&#8217;ll be in both the refrigerated and dry goods sections of your Asian or Japanese market. I prefer the refrigerated version above\u00a0over the canned &#8212; they seem to stick together less and are easier to stuff. The skins are a little bit sweet and the refrigerated version comes with a dried vinegar powder packet to sprinkle over your hot rice, if you&#8217;re just making the basic. Other brands, including the ones you see your supermarket sushi bar, are usually lighter in color, so it&#8217;s worth seeking out the Shirakiku brand if you can find it.<\/p>\n<p>Go Hawks!<\/p><!-- Start GADSWPV-3.6 --><center><div id=\"ga_29466488\"> <\/div><div style=\"text-align:right; width:300px; padding:5px 0;\">\r\n   <img src=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/plugins\/trx_addons\/components\/lazy-load\/images\/placeholder.png\" data-trx-lazyload-src=\"https:\/\/bcdn.grmtas.com\/images\/gourmetads-logo.jpg\" alt=\"logo\" style=\"float:right; border:none;\" \/>\r\n   <div style=\"width:auto; padding:4px 5px 0 0; float:right; display:inline-block; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#333;\">\r\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gourmetads.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Food Advertisements\" style=\"text-decoration:none; color:#333;\">Food Advertisements<\/a> by\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/center><!-- End GADSWPV-3.6 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve seen the Snackadium, the pizza with a pepperoni football, the zillion layer dip, but come Sunday you might want a more literal football food &#8212; inari, the sushi we&#8217;ve always called\u00a0&#8220;footballs.&#8221; The basic\u00a0inarizushi\u00a0is simply filled with seasoned white sticky rice, a fancier version might add\u00a0some shredded teriyaki chicken and carrots, and this one, I&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1115,35],"tags":[113,307,648,1016,1018,1017,75,1020,1019],"class_list":["post-12493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cooking","category-recipes","tag-appetizers","tag-football","tag-football-food","tag-inari","tag-inari-age","tag-inarizushi","tag-rice","tag-seahawks","tag-sushi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
