Saba Miso is a very common Japanese home cooking meal. People typically eat Saba Miso with steamed rice. This is one of my family’s favorite meals and I have very good memories of my grandmother making it for me and my father when I was a child.
Yield: 2 servings
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 mackrel (about 1/2 lb)
- 1 green onion (2oz) chopped 2.5″
- 4 oz ginger (thin sliced)
Spices
- 3 tbsp miso paste
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp mirin
- 1/2 cup sake
- 3 tbsp sugar
Preparation
- Remove mackrel bones, slice into thirds, and use a knife to cut an X mark into the flesh. Pour hot water on the mackrel to remove any strong odor
- Add all spices (miso paste, sake, soy sauce, mirin, sugar), 1/2 cup of water, ginger and green onion. Mix, and raise to a boil
- After mixture boils, add mackrel and cook for 15 min on medium-low heat
- Serve and enjoy!

Thank you a million again for these recipes. Not having to call my husband or mother-in-law about every single thing gives me a lot of food-freedom!
I was wondering if there maybe was a way to think with side dishes in a japanese meal? Lately I have been wondering a lot about how to know which side dishes would be most appropriate with what main dish. Is it not that strict so I can go with my foreigner sense, or is it much more complicated?
Thank you again!
