Abura-age (油揚げ, lit. 'oil-fried') is a Japanese food product made from tofu. Thin slices of tofu are deep-fried, and the product can then be split open to form pouches.[1] Abura-age is often used to wrap inari-zushi (稲荷寿司), and it is added to miso soup. It is also added to udon noodle dishes, which are called kitsune-udon because of legends that foxes (kitsune) like deep-fried tofu. Abura-age can also be stuffed, e.g. with nattō, before frying again. There is a thicker variety known as atsu-age (厚揚げ) or nama-age (生揚げ).
