Instructions

0/4

  1. Score the mackerel skin and pour boiling water over it briefly to freshen it.

  2. Bring the water, sake, mirin, sugar and sliced ginger to a simmer, add the fish skin side up and simmer covered for 10 minutes.

  3. Dissolve the miso in a little of the liquid, add it with the leek and simmer 5 more minutes, spooning the glaze over the fish.

  4. Boil the green beans, cut them and toss with ground sesame, soy sauce and a pinch of sugar. Serve with rice.

Chef's tips

  • •Adding the miso near the end keeps its aroma, so a little goes a long way.
