Abura-age (油揚げ) 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. 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)/nama-age (生揚げ).
