Ingredients




20 sardines (iwashi)
1/2 ounce ginger (tsuchi-shoga)
1/2 cup kelp-flavored fish stock (nidashijiru)
1/4 cup soy sauce (shoyu)
1/8 cup sweetened cooking sake (mirin)

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar

Preparation

1 Remove fish heads and clean. Cut ginger into matchstick-size pieces. 2 Preheat high-speed gas oven to about 450 degrees. Put sardines, ginger and simmering liquid ingredients in oven ware, place parchment paper drop lid directly on ingredients and cover with another tight-fitting lid. Cook in gas oven about 15 minutes; leave in oven for another 15 minutes. Alternatively, fish can be simmered on stove. 3 This recipe yields 4 servings.
