Simmered Sardines with Umeboshi

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

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

I had some reasonable sardines, but I wasn't sure what to do with them with the cooking ingredients I'd bought.

Since sardines were on sale, I made this dish. This is a perfect dish for summer.Fold the sardines in half instead of rolling them up so that they cook through easily.It will be easier to cook this dish when if buy butterflied sardines.

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.

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

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.

I tried a fish dish.Once you put the sardines in the pot, do not touch the fish often, just pour the cooking liquid over using a ladle or a spoon. Cook without a lid. The sardines are fresh if you can see around 7 dots clearly in a single horizontal line on the body. Recipe by Manmarumauchan

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

I tried making a sauce from umeboshi plum paste to perk up the flavors during the summer.This recipe makes a large amount, so you can start with 1/2 the amount.Please adjust the amount of mirin to your liking depending on the kind of umeboshi you use.You can use this dressing as salad dressing, too! For 4 large servings for a main dish. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I came up with this way to get plenty of calcium.I use sweet soy sauce from western Japan. If using a saltier soy sauce, it might be best to slightly reduce the amount. Also, I use medium-sized umeboshi. Be careful not to burn it while simmering. Recipe by Gagarin

Every time I made dried sardines, they'd stick. One day, I sprinkled in sake, as instructed on the package of sardines, and voila!

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

This is the recipe I settled on after experimenting with the proportion of ingredients.The key is the degree of the stewed seasonings. Practice making this several times. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by jun120121

The way to reduce the pungent taste is by cutting at right angles and contact with air. I tried it and it is very effective.By cutting the onion at right angles, it kills the cell and put the pungent component in front. And by spreading in basket on contacting with air blows the pungent taste away. Also the sourness of umeboshi helps to shade off the pungent taste. Recipe by Tanshin funin no ryourinin

Long ago, I lived near a ramen shop that served ramen in umeboshi and butter. I loved it. I had cravings for it, and made this, recalling the original taste.Adjust the amount of bouillon and soy sauce depending on the salt content of the umeboshi. I use low-salt umeboshi. If you are using umeboshi flavoured with honey, use sake instead of mirin. Recipe by Kuccharu

I wanted to enjoy something refreshing and summer-like.Don't mix too much in Step 2.

For about 2 servings. Recipe by Mayumi

I received a lot of cucumbers, and while I ate them in the form of salads and pickles, I got tired of those dishes, so I tried making this.Adding bonito dashi stock granules deepens the flavours of the dish.It's alright to use regular sesame seeds instead of roasted ones. Try adding a little sesame oil to enjoy a different taste.Alternatively, julienning or roughly cubing the cucumbers and eating them with cold tofu or noodles is also delicious. Recipe by unihotate

I uploaded the recipe since I thought this dish was delicious, and doesn't smell fishy at all.The cooking time will probably vary depending on your pressure cooker.Our pressure cooker takes about 40 minutes, but please adjust as needed.It doesn't use water, so it should keep for a while.The canned tomatoes, onions, shimeji mushrooms, and white wine give this a delicious umami.

When I didn't have much ingredients, I made this with some canned sardines.For my husband who likes soy sauce flavored dishes, I made this Japanese-style, which was rather unusual for me.Be careful not to overcook the sardines, since they will fall apart.If there's too much oil in the canned sardines, or if you don't like the smell, use olive oil instead.Turn the heat off before adding soy sauce.Squeeze the sudachi for fresh juice!
