It is easy to make at home and healthy as well.
Yellowtails caught during winter are especially good, as it stores a lot of fat.
The key to this recipe is to prepare both ingredients very well in advance.
Ingredients:
・Daikon (Radish) ⅓ (about 500g, depends on the size)
・Yellowtail (Ara) 400g (Ara is the head of a fish)
・Cooking sake 100ml
・Soy sauce 90ml
・Mirin (rice wine) 2 tbs
・Sugar 50g
・Ginger 60g
Prepare:
Cut daikon to about 2.5cm width, peel them thickly.
Boil the ingredients (preferably with water that has been used to wash rice.
This will make the daikon taste milder and its color whiter, also make it soak up the soup well)
Try to skim as much as you can, this way you can get rid of the bitter taste.
Boil them until you can stick a chopstick through the daikon.
Rinse them with cold water to cool them off.
Place yellowtail in a strainer in a single layer, pour boiling water over it.
Rinse them with water and dry them well with paper towels to get rid of the fishy smell.
How to make:
Place daikon in the pan first, then place yellowtail on it.
Put rest of ingredients into pan all together.
Pour water until ingredients are almost fully soaked, but not completely.
Place lid and boil it for about 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat, let it cool, and then reheat a few hours later or right before you are ready to eat it.
This way the daikon and yellowtail soak up the soup even better.
It really makes a difference!
Did you see how easy it was?
I used “ara” which is the head of a fish because it is one of the fattiest parts of a fish but yet very healthy.
Enjoy your meal!
