Serves:

Ingredients

  • 4 mackerel fillets
  • 4 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and grated ginger to make the marinade.

  2. Place the mackerel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
