generous pinch salt for the pasta water

2-3 tbsp olive oil
250g unsweetened soy yogurt (1 cup)
200g silken tofu (7oz)
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
2 ½ tbsp lemon juice, or more to taste
dash of cumin
⅓ tsp salt, or more to taste

pinch of salt

#4 Cheesy Inari Onigiri 6:00

1 ½ – 2 cups cooked sticky rice (225 – 300g)

if needed: extra salt to taste
8 – 10 yukata inari sushi pockets

tiny bit of oil for the non stick pan

serve with vegan chili mayo, sesame seeds, on their own, just soy sauce, the peanut sauce from recipe #2 ; options are endless
