Simmered mackerel and daikon served in a plate.

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ daikon radish, about 250-300g
  • 1 can mackerel, about 190g
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped
Seasonings
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 Tbsp sake
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ⅓ tsp grated ginger

Instructions
 

  1. Preparation: Peel the daikon and cut it into bite-size pieces.
  2. Stir-fry: Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the daikon.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
