Simmered Flounder

I had some inexpensive flounder in the freezer, so I simmered it.
I usually make this without measuring but this time I measured while cooking.

Cooking fish with soft flesh in water and sake helps the proteins prevent the fish from falling apart since it sets the protein (collagen).
It's a bit troublesome, but be sure to add the seasonings separately!
The fish will absorb the flavours more once it cools, so take into consideration the time to cool and reheat time when preparing. Recipe by Osakana kitchen
