Ingredients
1⁄4 teaspoon Dashi Granules1 cup Water
1⁄4 cup Sake
1⁄4 cup Mirin
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1⁄2 tablespoon Sugar
2 whole Ginger Slices
14 ounces Tofu (firm, cut into 8 rectangles)
1 whole Chilean Sea Bass Fillet
4 whole Green Onions (cut into 1-inch lengths)
Directions
- In a pan oven over high heat, combine the dashi granules, water, sake, mirin, soy sauce, sugar and ginger and bring to a boil. Add the fish to the pan, in a single layer and cover with a crack open.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and increase the heat to bring the liquid to a boil. Add the tofu to the pan and cook, turning once, until the liquid reduces slightly and its flavor intensifies, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Return the fish to the pan with green onions and continue cooking, basting constantly with a spoon, for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let the fish sit for 10 to 15 minutes, so the fish absorbs even more flavor from the sauce.
