What is Abura-age?
Abura-age is produced by cutting tofu into thin slices and deep-frying them first at 110–120 °C, and then again at 180–200 °C. Abura-age is often used to wrap inari-zushi , and is added to miso soup. It is also added to udon noodle dishes, which are called kitsune-udon . Abura-age can also be stuffed, e.g. with nattō , before frying again. There is a thicker variety known as atsu-age or nama-age .
