Simmered Sardines and Umeboshi
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
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

- 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.

Simmered Sardines with Umeboshi Simmered Sardines with Umeboshi
I bought some fresh sardines. Of the ten I bought, I used 6 for sashimi, and the rest in this recipe.To tell whether sardines are fresh, look for a taut body, well-defined, glossy scales, and black eyes.They're prone to breaking or falling apart when transferring to a serving plate, so try the process listed in Step 6.It's pretty easy. Give it a try!! Recipe by kumayuki

Tender Simmered Sardines with Umeboshi Pickled Plums Tender Simmered Sardines with Umeboshi Pickled Plums
I love the combination of sardines and umeboshi. Umeboshi makes the bones and meat tender. The backbone is hard to eat, but you can eat the small bones.If you have pickled red shiso leaves with umeboshi, add to the simmer. It will be tasty as well. After simmering the sardines, umeboshi and red shiso leaves adds a concentrated flavor, but it goes well with rice. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru -

Grilled Sardines with Umeboshi, Ginger, Miso, and Sesame Grilled Sardines with Umeboshi, Ginger, Miso, and Sesame
I bought delicious looking sardines! Usually my mother simmers them, but I wanted to try them grilled.I used ingredients I love - umeboshi, ginger, miso, and sesame. Enjoy with a bowlful of rice when it's piping hot. Once cooled, it tastes like semi-dried fish and makes a great appetizer with beer.I've used fairly large sardines here.When grilling the fish, I started out with the heat set to low in order cook through them thoroughly. If the sesame seeds start burning when you raise the heat to medium, cover the fish with a sheet of aluminium foil. For 2 servings. Recipe by naonaos. -
Tender Sardines Simmered in a Pressure Cooker with Pickled Ume and Vinegar Tender Sardines Simmered in a Pressure Cooker with Pickled Ume and Vinegar
I cooked these in a pressure cooker until they were tender to the bones so that my fish-loving daughter could eat them. Since vinegar softens the bones, I used black vinegar. Adding umeboshi got rid of their fishy smell.To prep the fish, all you need to do is gut and rinse them. After that, just put everything in the pressure cooker and cook -- it's very easy. For 4 servings. Recipe by Satomiwa -

No Fishy Smell! Soft All the Way to the Bones! Sardines Simmered in Umeboshi and Ginger No Fishy Smell! Soft All the Way to the Bones! Sardines Simmered in Umeboshi and Ginger
I had a real craving for sardines simmered in umeboshi and ginger, so I decided to make a serious attempt at cooking this recipe that my mother taught me.Try not to move the sardines much after you arrange them in the pan. This will prevent them from falling apart. If using prepared sardines, I recommend washing them in salt water first.Depending on the size and type of the sardines, the bones could still be hard, so be careful when eating! For serving 2-3.

Simmered Bamboo Shoot & Fuki Topped with Umeboshi Simmered Bamboo Shoot & Fuki Topped with Umeboshi
I had an odd amount of bamboo and fuki left over, so I tried making this together with the umeboshi in the fridge. It's a light taste for warm spring days.Don't let it boil too strongly. Cook on medium to low heat. If it boils too much, the fuki will be discolored. Use light-colored soy sauce. I modified the amounts a bit. Recipe by Akkonee -
