Steps

1

Cut the onion, carrot, and bell pepper into thin strips.
2

In a small saucepan, combine all the marinade ingredients (marked ●) and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. (This step is optional.)
3

Add the sliced vegetables to the marinade. (If the marinade is still hot, the vegetables will soften slightly and absorb the flavor.)
4

If the mackerel has any bones, remove them. Cut into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let sit for about 10 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel if moisture appears.
5

Place the mackerel and potato starch in a plastic bag and shake to coat evenly.
6

Pour a generous amount of vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat over medium. Add the mackerel and pan-fry for 2–3 minutes on each side (adjust time depending on size) until golden and cooked through.
7

While still hot, place the fried mackerel into the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
8

Serve and enjoy!
