Rich Miso-Simmered Mackerel
- 2 Mackerel
- 100 ml Sake
- 150 ml Water
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 3 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 6 Sliced ginger
- 2 1/2 tbsp Red miso
- 1/2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 Sesame oil
- Remove the head and innards from the fish and chop into 3 pieces.
- Wash well with cold water, especially the blood near the spinal bone.
- Make a cross cut on the skin.
- Place in a colander and pour hot water in circular motion.
- Put the ingredients into a pot and heat.
- Once boiled, add the fish and avoid overlapping the pieces.
- Make a "drop lid" by cutting parchment paper the same size of the pot and lay on top of the fish.
- Simmer for 5 minutes in medium heat.
- Dissolve the miso, oyster sauce, and sesame oil and cook for 15 minutes.
- Spoon the broth over the fish occasionally.
- When the broth has reduced by 2/3 and it has become thick and starchy, it's done.
