Stewed fish is one of the authentic Japanese dishes. You can use flounder, fluke, snapper, and pretty much any white fish would work. I was craving for such simple Japanese comfort food.
Boil a piece dried konbu (seaweed) water, soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar (for sweeter taste) with some water. Add the fish and fresh ginger slices. Put a lit and simer for 10 min or so until the fish is cooked. The fish absorb the soup and tastes better next day. It's not easy to eat this dish with fork and does require some skill to eat with chopsticks since the fish is really soft and has bones. So happy to be Japanese!!
