This dish really represents Hokkaido! Every Hokkaido native has grown up with this dish. It's warming and filling regional favorite.

You can make this in a pan or in an electrical griddle. Just use the same procedure and reduce the amount if needed, you don't have a lot of washing up afterwards, and it's so easy. For the version in the photos, I used a small tabletop pot.
If you use an electric griddle, more moisture will evaporate so it will be like a stir-fry. For 4 to 5 servings with a generous amount of miso sauce. Recipe by Mirunesan

Steps

1

*Please use raw salmon, not salted or smoked. Cut the vegetables up into pieces. It's particularly yummy if you add lots of cabbage.
2

Combine all the ★ seasoning ingredients. Mix the miso and sugar together first, then add the other ingredients!
3

Add oil and butter to an electric griddle and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces skin side down, and top with lots of vegetables and some of the miso sauce... Don't add too much sauce!
4

Cover with aluminium foil or a lid, and steam-cook. After 10 to 15 minutes or so the moisture from the vegetables will seep out.
5

Open the lid and flake the salmon while mixing it with the vegetables. Add Chinese chives, when they're wilted, the dish is done.
6

Serve it on one big plate so everyone can share. But for little kids, cool it down and serve it separately in a small container.
7

It's the best over rice. However, in our house I usually serve it with drinks, so we eat it with a can of beer in one hand.
8

Adjust the flavor by the amount of sweet miso sauce you add. Be sparing to start with, since it's easy to add more.
9

Cook over medium-high heat. Take a peek occasionally and adjust the heat if needed. It's tastiest if it's a bit burnt!
10

Put in any leftover vegetables you have. The sweet miso sauce goes well with any vegetables.
