You can use any kind of miso you like. Red, white, or kouji miso would all work, so just use the one that suits your taste. Simmering at a little bit higher heat helps the flavors blend and makes it really delicious. Recipe by Kumekanachan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the mackerel into 3 pieces and sprinkle salt on both sides. Let it sit for 10 minutes. The salt will remove moisture from the fish, which helps reduce the fish smell.
- 2
Put the mackerel in a strainer and pour boiling water over it to remove the fish smell. This one extra step will make the mackerel really delicious.
- 3
To infuse the mackerel with a sweet flavor, add the water, sugar, sake, ginger, and umeboshi to a pot and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat for a moment, arrange the mackerel in the pan, then set the heat to medium.
- 4
Just before it boils, turn the heat down to low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Next, ladle a small amount of the simmering liquid into a small bowl and mix in the miso until it dissolves. Add the dissolved miso to the pot and gently stir to make sure the miso is evenly distributed.
- 5
Use a spoon to ladle the simmering liquid evenly over the pieces of fish. Cover with an otoshibuta (drop lid) and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. The miso can scald easily, so be careful.
- 6
When most of the simmering liquid has boiled down, it's done. In a short time, you have made simmered mackerel in a glossy sauce. You can also cut about 5 cm of the white part of a Japanese leek and simmer it with the mackerel, which is also delicious.

Restaurant-Quality Simmered Mackerel (Soy Sauce Flavored) Restaurant-Quality Simmered Mackerel (Soy Sauce Flavored)
I like mackerel simmered in soy sauce rather than miso. When I used to work full time in an office, I loved the 'mackerel set lunch' offered at a local restaurant. I recreated the flavor of their simmered mackerel.If you add the mackerel after the cooking liquid has come to a boil, it won't be fishy.Reduce the cooking liquid to about 1/3. I always feel like the fish haven't been seasoned enough whenever I don't cook down the sauce. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

Salmon Simmered in Sweet Miso Sauce from Hokkaido Salmon Simmered in Sweet Miso Sauce from Hokkaido
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 -

Just Simmer for 10 Minutes! Black Tea Simmered Pork with Yuzu Sauce Just Simmer for 10 Minutes! Black Tea Simmered Pork with Yuzu Sauce
This is a recipe I've been making for a long time. It's a firm family favorite.If you want to make a lot, cut the pork up into 200 to 300 g pieces and cook them all at once. If you're worried that a piece of pork didn't cook through properly, cut it in the middle after you're done. If it looks raw, heat through again. It won't affect the flavor. For 2 servings.

Sardines Simmered in Soy Sauce Sardines Simmered in Soy Sauce
Sardines were on sale at the supermarket, so I made one of my husband's favorites - sardines simmered in soy sauce.Place the sardines in one layer in the pan, without overlapping them.I used a frying pan with a depth of 24 cm this time. *Basic tip: for blue fish, start with cold water. This way the skin doesn't tear. (For white fish, boil the liquid first)In Step 5,if you leave some of the simmering liquid, the flavor will be less strong. If you boil it down until the liquid is gone, the flavor will be stronger. Recipe by MORIYABAR
