My mother-in-law taught me that adding umeboshi removes the fishy smell, and make the dish refreshing and delicious.

I season it a little bit sweet, taking the saltiness of the umeboshi into consideration, but please adjust it to your liking. Recipe by GELUGUGU

Steps

1

Cut off the heads and the tails from the sardines. Cut in half, remove the innards, and rinse them.
2

Add the ★ flavouring ingredients into a pot, and bring to a boil. Please adjust the taste to your liking at this point. Since the umeboshi will be added later, I made it a little bit sweet.
3

Bring Step 2 to a boil, arrange the sardines, and add the umeboshi flesh without pits.
4

Put a small lid that sits right on top of the food (otoshibuta), and simmer for about 15-20 minutes over medium heat, then turn off the heat. Letting it cool down, and heating it up again makes the sardines absorb the flavours better.
5

Heat it up before eating.
