  • 1 1/4 cup dashi stock
  • 1/3 cup sake
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp mirin
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger root, thinly sliced

Preparation:

Put dashi, sake, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a large skillet. Add ginger slices. Put on high heat and bring to a boil. Place the fish in the broth. Simmer on high heat for a few minutes. Turn down the heat to low. Put on a drop lid. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through. It takes longer to cook fish with egg sacs.
