Simmered Okara with Canned Fish
- 150 grams Fresh okara
- 1 your choice Leftover vegetables
- 1 tbsp of each Sake, soy sauce, mirin, sugar
- 1 can Canned fish
- Vegetables: carrot, daikon radish, Japanese leek, burdock.
- Just using scraps is fine!
- If available, use kamaboko, konnyaku noodles, or aburaage!
- ou can use anywhere from 70-180 g of canned fish, it doesn't matter!
- Canned salmon will work well with this.
- The okara will probably expand more than you think.
- Since you can store it in the freezer, use half of a 350 g bag and store the rest.
- Stir-fry the vegetables in oil.
- If you have kamaboko or aburaage, add them here.
- The photo shows 3 cm of daikon, 3 cm of carrot, 5 cm of leek, and a handful of daikon leaves.
- Add the okara (if frozen, thaw it out first) and canned fish to the frying pan.
- You don't need to break apart the fish.
- Since you will use the juices from the can, don't throw it out.
- Let's make this simple.
- While cooking, the canned fish will break apart.
- If there are still some large pieces, don't worry as this will be simmered as well.
- Add enough water to just cover the okara mixture.
- Since the flavor will depend on the type and amount of canned fish, for now just use the canned juices and 1 tablespoon each of the flavoring ingredients.
- Boil the okara until the liquid evaporates.
- Stir it occasionally.
- When it becomes the texture you want, taste it.
- If you want a thicker flavor, add 1/2 tablespoon of each flavoring ingredient until the flavor is what you want.
- Make sure to evaporate the excess liquid.
- There's a bitter taste, so don't forget the sugar!
- I made it with 160 g of okara, 80 g of canned Pacific saury, 600 ml of water, and 1.5 tablespoons of each of the condiments.
