Mackerel and Daikon
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preparation: Peel the daikon and cut it into bite-size pieces.
- Stir-fry: Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the daikon.
- Simmer: Add the mackerel, including the liquid from the can. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sake, and ginger. Gently mix to combine. Cover with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit, and simmer until the daikon is tender and the liquid has reduced.
- Serve: Transfer it to a bowl and top with chopped scallion.
Notes
- Cut the daikon into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Add the mackerel gently and avoid stirring too much so the pieces don’t break apart.
- Use a drop lid or parchment paper cut to fit. It helps the daikon cook evenly in the broth.
