Ushio-jiru: My Favorite Clear Soup

The stock you get from the bones and skin of cod is so delicious! Enjoy the gentle flavor of the cod that's not at all 'fishy'. It's good to the last drop.
Don't use soy sauce, since it will overwhelm the fish stock. Add the seasonings a little at a time while tasting, and stop when it tastes just right to you. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by pegupepepe.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Here are the washed and prepped bones, skin and offcuts of the cod. (Note: there's a piece of ginger in the photo, but I didn't use it in this recipe.)
- 2
- 3
Put the bones and skin, kombu and about 5 tablespoons of sake in a pan with enough water to serve everyone. Start cooking over high heat.
- 4
Take the kombu out just before the pan comes to a boil.
- 5
When it comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium. Skim off all the scum - this is very important.
- 6
While you're skimming the scum off, don't lower the heat. This is the key to making a clear soup that doesn't taste fishy.
- 7
When there's no more scum in the pan, you can turn down the heat to low finally. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes to extract all the umami from the fish.
- 8
You can simply flavor the soup with salt only. I mainly season it with salt, and a tiny bit of usukuchi soy sauce. It's up to you.
- 9
Add the garnish... and it's done!

Osuimono - Clear Soup For Girl's Day Festival Osuimono - Clear Soup For Girl's Day Festival
I saw how to make the cooked egg (kakitama) and form it into a ball on TV once. The soup base is our family recipe. By adding dashi stock granules and other ingredients to the egg, it looks cute and tastes great too! The egg is nice and fluffy and delicious! Why not serve it on Girl's Day?It's easier to cook the eggs one at a time. Mix each egg with 1/2 teaspoon of dashi stock granules, bonito based preferred for more flavor. You can serve about 5 people with this amount of soup. When you're scooping up the cooked egg, a tea strainer is the ideal implement. If you put in too many other ingredients with the egg, it won't form a nice neat ball. Recipe by Torodesu. cookpad.japan -
