Candied Dried Baby Sardines (Tazukuri) for New Year's
Make some tazkuri for your New Year's feast! They are an auspicious dish.
Origin:
Sardines used to be used as fertilizer for top grade rice fields, so the people would eat them and pray for an abundant harvest. The other name for this dish, "gomame" (or "fifty thousand rice grains"), comes from the fact that the sardines used as fertilizer bring an abundant harvest (based on information I found on Wikipedia).
-If you fry the sardines for too long, they will become bitter, so be careful.
-Instead of seeing it as pan-frying them, think of it as evaporating the moisture!
-If you let them simmer for too long in Step 4, they will become tough after they cool. This is why you should leave about 1-1.5 tablespoons of liquid. Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Delicious Nanban Pickled Small Sardines Delicious Nanban Pickled Small Sardines
I had a lot of small sardines left over, so I thought to pickle them in black vinegar and preserve them. If you have any pickling vinegar left over, put it to good use as a dressing, in ankake, or various other uses!Use the same amounts of green pepper, paprika, and carrot, but use a little more onion. In Step 3 add the vegetables to the pickling vinegar while it's still hot. Be sure to adjust the sourness in Step 4. Add the fried sardines to the pickling vinegar while still hot. These are the main points. For 4 servings. Recipe by Shiotokoshou -
