Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Buri (Yellowtail) 350g
  • Daikon Radish 350g
  • Ginger 10g
  • Green Onion (Scallion) to taste

Seasonings

  • [A] Salt to taste
  • Oil as needed
  • Water 850cc
  • [B] MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 3 dashes
  • [B] Salt 1/2 tsp
  • Miso 2 tbsp

Steps

  1. Peel 350g Daikon radish and cut into 1cm thick ginkgo leaf shapes.
  2. Slice or julienne 10g ginger.
  3. Sprinkle salt to taste over 350g Buri (Yellowtail) and let it sit for a few minutes.
  4. Thoroughly rinse the salted Buri under water, removing any bloodlines or scales. 【PRO TIP!】 Carefully removing the bloodlines results in a fish soup free of any unpleasant smell.
  5. Thoroughly pat dry the surface of the Buri with a paper towel. 【PRO TIP!】 Properly wiping off moisture helps to eliminate fishiness more effectively when searing.
  6. Heat about 1 1/2 tsp of oil in a pot over medium heat, then sear the Buri skin-side down. 【PRO TIP!】 Searing skin-side down first helps to render out the oil between the skin and flesh that can cause fishiness.
  7. Once the Buri is seared all over, wipe away any excess oil from the pot with a paper towel. 【PRO TIP!】 It's important to wipe away this oil, as it contains fishiness released from the fish.
  8. Add the ginkgo-cut 350g Daikon radish and sliced 10g ginger to the pot with the seared Buri.
  9. Add 850cc water, 1/2 tsp salt, and 3 dashes of MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG).
  10. Bring the pot to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes without a lid. 【PRO TIP!】 Simmering without a lid allows the fishy smell from the Buri to escape, rather than being trapped in the pot.
  11. Carefully skim off any scum that rises to the surface during simmering.
  12. After simmering for 20 minutes, turn off the heat and dissolve in 2 tbsp miso. 【PRO TIP!】 Adding miso after turning off the heat enhances its aroma. Use additive-free miso, not dashi-infused miso.
  13. Once the miso is fully incorporated, gently warm it again. Do not bring it to a rolling boil at this stage.
  14. Serve in bowls and garnish with chopped green onion to taste to complete.
