Pacific Saury (or Sardines) Cooked in a Pressure Cooker

It's my family's favorite recipe.
An umeboshi plum is enough to get rid of the fishy smells. Use 2 if you want a stronger umeboshi taste. If you like it sweet and salty, add 1 tablespoon each of sugar and soy sauce. If you prefer it light, reduce the amount of sugar. You can also double the ingredients.
I was selected as a monitor for Takara brand's "Cooking Sake" and found the taste to be much richer when I started using it. For just enough to cover the ingredients in a (18 cm [7.1 in] in diameter) pressure cooker.. Recipe by Reontei

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mince the umeboshi plum (remove the seed). Filet the fish. Cut off the head and tail and remove the innards. Rinse with salt water and cut it into bite sizes.
- 2
Mix all the ingredients in a pressure cooker and let it come to a boil. Add the fish and cover the pressure cooker with a lid and start (the photo shows three fish worth).
- 3
Cook for 15 to 20 minutes and let sit until it cools down. Then it is ready (the photo is after pressure cooking for 17 minutes).
- 4
If plated on a 20cm diameter dish, it'll look like this.

[9/13/07 edit] I used the pressure cooker over a gas stove. I cook for 20 minutes so there's only a little bit of broth left. If you cook for 15 minutes, there will be more sauce, but the bones will be soft and ready to eat. Adjust the time depending your pressure cooker.

[9/20/07 edit] I received feedback from some users who noticed that the bottom on the pot got burnt. To avoid this, adjust the recipe by adding less sugar, more sake or water, reduce the cooking time.

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 cookpad.japan -
Simmered Pacific Saury with Ginger Simmered Pacific Saury with Ginger
I love user Miichi's "Simmered Pacific Saury with Ginger", and I changed the recipe to make half the amount with 2 pacific saury. My husband doesn't like it if he can't eat down to the bones. User Amanusa told me that she could make this with 4 saury as well. Thank you for trying this recipe!Adjust the cooking time depending on your pressure cooker. Place the pacific saury in the pressure cooker pot after shaking the pressure cooker around to combine the seasonings (especially sugar) well. The amount of sauce is not a lot, so once the pressure has been released, turn the fish over, or shake the pot around again to let the flavors set in as it cools down!

Good To The Bone! Sardines with Ginger in a Pressure Cooker Good To The Bone! Sardines with Ginger in a Pressure Cooker
Sardines were on sale, so I decided to give them a ginger and soy sauce flavor, like canned sardines.I based this on a recipe I found in a cookbook for pressure cookers. However, in that recipe, the bones were too hard to eat, so I revised it to make them softer, as well as the flavor!Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your liking! Use small-sized sardines. If you use larger ones, add about 15-20 minutes to the pressure-cooking time!Buying fish that have already been beheaded and gutted would make the process even easier!Finally, when simmering, be careful not to let it burn!Adding 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar to the ingredients is also delicious.

Cooked in a Frying Pan! Plump Salt-Grilled Pacific Saury (Sanma) Cooked in a Frying Pan! Plump Salt-Grilled Pacific Saury (Sanma)
I love Pacific saury (sanma), and I was trying to find a delicious and easy way to salt-grill it and have it turn out plump and juicy.Sprinkling 1 tablespoon of sake on each piece of Pacific saury before cooking makes it plump and juicy.By placing a sheet of parchment paper under the fish, you can just slide it out of the pan without losing the delicious oils of the Pacific saury! And it's convenient, too.If you don't want to save the fish oil, you can just gently remove the fish to a plate with a spatula. Recipe by *maa* cookpad.japan -

I bought lots of Pacific saury cheaply. I was tired of plum simmered or grilled Pacific saury so I made it into Karaage, which kids love.It's easy to eat for kids since the bones are already removed.If you like a lighter, more delicate flavor, reduce the marinating time. Sake softens the fish, and the ginger removes the fishy smell. Recipe by Kurumihinata mama cookpad.japan -

Pacific Saury (or Mackerel) with a Spicy Sauce - An Elegant Light-Colored Dish Using Shiro-Dashi Pacific Saury (or Mackerel) with a Spicy Sauce - An Elegant Light-Colored Dish Using Shiro-Dashi
If you use shiro-dashi, it will create a lighter color for a beautiful result. I also tried making it with light soy sauce. It's similar to a non-oil marinade? That's the image.You can optionally add sliced chili pepper to the nanban sauce. I didn't add it because I wanted my children to eat this. Using about 1cm of oil when frying the fish should be enough so that it doesn't become dirty after the first use. If you prefer tender vegetables, microwave them to soften them before using.
