Nizakana, Slow Cooked Fish (e.g. Flounder)

 View Product Page 

Introduction:

Nizakana is fish which have a light flavor, such as flounder, cooked with mainly soy sauce and sweet seasonings. The flounder will end up being very soft and the combination of saltiness and sweetness are a perfect fit with it. This is a very healthy dish that does not use any oil. The smells that come from the pot when you simmer the fish will make you very hungry!

Ingredients:

For the patty:

• 200 cc water
• 100 cc sake (or cooking wine) 
  Note: 300 cc of water + sake (less sake is fine)
• 3 tablespoons sugar (or 2 tablespoons honey)
• 3 tablespoons mirin
• 3 tablespoons (koikuchi) soy sauce
• 4 slices of ginger
• 3-4 slices of flounder or whatever white flesh fish
  
  Note: To make calculation easier, a mixture of 1. sake (partially water), 2. sugar, 3. mirin, and 4. soy sauce (regular soy sauce + partially tamari is also good) used at a ratio of 6 : 1 : 1 : 1 is superb!
