Salmon and saki in Japanese are the same pronunciation but salmon is sake, saki is osake for me.
Salty flavored salmon is so good with rice. It is a fancy version of Furikake. It will be the season of salmon soon so here's my favorite recipe for さけフレーク!p.s. if you buy it from stores, probably a lot of them use MSG or preservatives so that is why I prefer YOU make it;-)
Ingredients:
- wild caught salmon about half a pound
- sea salt less than 1tbs ( だいたい写真くらいカバーできればOK)
- soy saurce 1 tbs
- osake (saki) 2 tbs
- mirin 1 tbs
- rice vinegar 1 tsp
- avocado oil 1tbs
- Put salt on the salmon, rub gently, and wait for 10 min.
- Pour oil in the pan, place the salmon, and broil it until the inside color changes.
- When the salmon is cooked, move it on a piece of the parchment paper and take bones and skins off.
- Put the meat back into the pan, add osake, soy sauce, mirin, and smash the meat so it becomes pieces.
- When the moisture is evaporated, turn off the stove, and add vinegar.
- Cool it down.
Dekiagari! できあがり!
これ、めちゃめちゃおいしいよ。ごはん、もりもり食べれるよ。お茶碗3杯は、いけると思う。お弁当にいれてもいいし、おにぎりの具にしてもいいし、さけフレークは子供に大人気だよ。
