How to Make Miso-simmered Mackerel
Ingredients (4 Servings)
Miso broth:
- 4 tablespoons miso
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons mirin
- 4 tablespoons sake
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 120cc water (about 1/2 cup)
1 whole mackerel or 4 slices of mackerel, about 100c / 3.5-oz. each
15g / 1/2-oz. piece of ginger, sliced
Step 1: Place the ingredients for the miso broth in a pan and mix well. Cook over medium heat until warm.
Step 2: Add the sliced mackerel and sliced ginger, cover with a drop-lid and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, basting the mackerel with the miso broth occasionally to create a sheen. Don’t flip the mackerel when cooking or it will break apart.
Chef's Notes: If you don’t have a drop-lid, you can cut oven paper into a circle (smaller than the size of the pan) and make a hole in the middle.
