  • 120cc water (about 1/2 cup)

1 whole mackerel or 4 slices of mackerel, about 100c / 3.5-oz. each

Step 2: Add the sliced mackerel and sliced ginger, cover with a drop-lid and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, basting the mackerel with the miso broth occasionally to create a sheen. Don’t flip the mackerel when cooking or it will break apart.

Chef's Notes: If you don’t have a drop-lid, you can cut oven paper into a circle (smaller than the size of the pan) and make a hole in the middle.
