Ingredients

1⁄2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
80 ml (3 fl oz) soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake
4 white fish fillets (orange roughy, john dory, flathead or snapper)
10 fine slices ginger, skin on

Preparation

Ginger is a basic ingredient in Japanese sautéed dishes. It is helpful in counteracting the strong odour of fish.


Mix water, sugar, soy sauce and sake, and bring to the boil. Add fish and ginger and cook for 5 minutes, until fish is cooked. While cooking, keep the fish coated with the sauce. Serve with green vegetables.

Hot Tips

Deep frying

If you are deep frying and do not have a thermometer, you can test if the oil is ready by dropping a cube of crustless white bread in the oil. If the oil is hot enough the bread should be golden brown in about 60 seconds.
