‘Saba-no-Tatsutaage, Ingen-to-Bainiku-no-Aemono,
Asari-no-Misoshiru'
|
|
In early summer, most parts of Japan experience a rainy season, the so called “Tsuyu梅雨”, literally meaning “plum rain”, because it occurs during plum season.
Today, we will learn how to make deep fried fish and marinated vegetables
with mashed dry plums. We also have clam miso soup and rice. This combination
is typically referred to as “Teishoku(set meal)”.
We will also show off the different uses of soy sauce. It can be used
in many dishes to remove the smell of seafood, add flavor, or give the
food a more mild taste. Hope you enjoy it!

■ Saba-no-Tatsutaage
(Fried Mackerel Seasoned with Soy sauce) |
| Ingredients (4 servings) |
300g saba(mackerel) fillets
Marinade: 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sake, 1 Tbsp ginger juice, Shichimi-togarashi(ground
red chili pepper)
starch, cooking oil
200g Japanese radish, 2 Sudachi (You can use Ponzu sauce instead.) |
Directions:
Preparation
1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl. (Add as much shichimi-togarashi as you like.)
2. Debone the saba(mackerel) fillets. Cut the saba into bite-size pieces and soak in the marinade for over 10 minutes. Drain the marinade.
3. Grate Japanese radish and drain in a colander. Cut sudachi in a half.
For Frying
4. Coat the saba fillets lightly with starch.
5. Pre-heat oil to 170℃～180℃(340F～360F).
6. Pat off excess starch on the saba fillets and start frying.
7. Turn them over sometimes. In order to make crispy tatsuta-age, fry over high heat for a minute or until they become brown and small bubbles form on the top of the oil.
8. Take out the saba fillets. Serve them on a plate, add grated Japanese radish, and pour sudachi juice on top.
