【Mackerel simmered in miso】コクうま鯖の味噌煮#shorts #japanesefood #cooking
Mackerel stewed in miso is a staple of Japanese home cooking, made by slowly simmering mackerel in a sweet and spicy miso sauce. The richness of the miso and the umami of the mackerel are exquisitely intertwined, making it a dish that goes well with rice.
The key to this dish is to make the most of the umami of the mackerel’s fat, while adding ginger, mirin, and sugar to enhance its sweetness and flavor. By simmering, the flesh becomes plump and the flavor is thoroughly absorbed, so it is delicious even when cooled.
It is also excellent in terms of nutrition, and the EPA and DHA contained in mackerel are said to be good for improving blood flow and brain health, and combined with the benefits of miso as a fermented food, it is a dish that is gentle on the body. It is a dish that exudes the warmth of Japanese cuisine and is popular with people of all ages.
