Tricolor Yubuchobap (Korean Style Inari Sushi)

Yubuchobap is sweet and vinegared rice stuffed in fried bean curd pockets. It’s perfect in a Korean lunch box or as a party food. Let’s make it!

Yubuchobap (Yubu Chobap, 유부초밥) is Korean version of Japanese inarizushi / inari sushi.

“Yubu” means fried bean curd and “chobap” means sushi rice. So together it makes sushi rice stuffed in fried bean curd pockets / pouches. It is a popular Korean picnic food along with kimbap (Korean sushi roll).

It is one of my favorite childhood foods because it brings back good memory of picnics.

Yubuchobap / Yubu chobap is very easy to make because essentially all you need is the yubuchobap kit and you can easily get it from a Korean grocery store.

Yubuchobap Kit

The above image is an example of the kit. You can typically choose the kit from ones that are made for 1 set or 3 sets of yubuchobap. The kit contains  seasoned fried bean curd pockets,vinegar seasoning (clear liquid) and dried rice seasonings.

The above kit is for 3 sets, which will give you 42 yubuchobap. Though, this will vary from brand to brand.

Yubuchobap is sweet, slightly salty and savory all at the same time. It’s very addictive and moreish. I think I can easily finish the one whole set myself. 🙂

My daughter loves it too. Thankfully, the chobap stores well in the fridge without going dry too much, so I sometimes pack them up for her lunch box as well.

While you can make a simple yubuchobap with the kit, it is always nice to add additional ingredients to give more nutrition and texture. Hence, enhance the overall flavor.

You can easily add your choice of vegetables and / or meat in it. But in the recipe below, I used broccoli, egg and spicy tuna to give nice contrast colors.

I hope you give these a try soon! I’m sure you will love it!
