Steps

Wash the carp and place it in a pot with plenty of boiling water. Boil and drain twice.
- 2
In a separate pot, bring the water, soy sauce, sake, and sugar to a boil, then add the carp from step 1. Simmer gently, adjusting the heat to prevent the carp from falling apart.
- 3
Cover with a drop lid to prevent the fish from breaking apart and to ensure the flavors are evenly absorbed.
