This is a quick and easy dish that I often cook with canned Sardines. Today I used canned
Mackerel fillets in brine, and the Mackerel was quite salty. You might use Mackerel in oil OR water. You really need to alter the amount of Soy Sauce depending on the saltiness of the Mackerel.

Makes

1 Serving

Ingredients

1 can (*125g) Mackerel In Brine *drained, broken into bite-size pieces
1/4 Onion *thinly sliced
1 small clove Garlic *finely chopped
Chilli Flakes as required
1 teaspoon Oil *I used Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Sake (Rice Wine) *OR Mirin for slightly sweet flavour
2 teaspoons Soy Sauce *alter the amount
1 serving warm Cooked Rice
Finely chopped Spring Onion
Toasted Sesame Seeds
Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix) OR Ground Chilli *optional

Method
  1. Heat Oil in a small frying pan over medium heat, cook Onion, Garlic and Chilli.
  2. When Onion is softened, add the drained Mackerel, and stir for a minute. Add Sake (OR Mirin) and Soy Sauce, and stir to combine. *Note: Alter the amount of Soy Sauce depending on the saltiness of the Mackerel.
  3. Half fill a bowl with warm Cooked Rice and cover it with the Mackerel mixture. Add some Spring Onion, Toasted Sesame Seeds and Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix), and enjoy.
  4. *Note: The reason why the rice looks purple is because it was cooked with some black rice and other grains.
