Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • White Fish 200g
  • Potato Starch 1 tbsp
  • Carrot 30g (approx. 1/6 medium)
  • Onion 60g (approx. 1/4 medium)
  • Komatsuna Greens 100g (approx. 1/2 bunch)
  • Salt to taste

Seasonings

  • [A] Water 150ml
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1.5 tbsp
  • [A] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Potato Starch 1 tsp
  • [A] Dashi Granules 1 tsp

Steps

  1. Peel and thinly slice 60g (approx. 1/4 medium) of onion.
  2. Peel and finely julienne 30g (approx. 1/6 medium) of carrot.
  3. Trim the roots off 100g (approx. 1/2 bunch) of komatsuna greens and cut into 3cm lengths.
  4. In a bowl, combine 150ml of water, 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of vinegar, 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of potato starch, and 1 tsp of dashi granules. Mix well.
  5. Remove scales from 200g of white fish using a bottle cap. Debone if there are any large bones. (Key Tip!) Cut-offs may have scales or bones, so thorough preparation makes them tastier.
  6. Pat dry the white fish with paper towels and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp of potato starch over the cut fish, coating evenly. (Key Tip!) Coating with potato starch before frying helps prevent excess moisture release, resulting in a fluffy and delicious texture.
  8. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the white fish skin-side down and sear until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until also browned.
  9. Once both sides are browned, remove the white fish to a plate.
  10. In the same frying pan, add the sliced onion, carrot, and komatsuna greens. Stir-fry until they are softened.
  11. Once the vegetables are softened, re-mix the prepared seasoning sauce and pour it into the frying pan.
  12. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens.
  13. Return the reserved white fish to the frying pan. Gently mix to coat without breaking the fish, and warm through.
  14. Plate and serve. It's ready!
  15. (Key Tip!) This recipe is also delicious when made with other fish like salmon or yellowtail.
  16. (Key Tip!) Adding vinegar provides a refreshing aroma and enhances the overall flavor.
