'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.

There is a thicker variety known as atsu-age (厚揚げ) or nama-age (生揚げ).
