Japanese Style Mackerel Rice Bowl Recipes

MISO MACKEREL RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Mix together 1 tsp miso, the vinegar, honey, soy and sesame oil with 1 tbsp water to make a dressing. Heat the grill to high. Line a grill pan with foil.
• Put 2 tsp rapeseed oil in a frying pan. Tip in the leeks and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until starting to soften. Stir in the garlic, grated ginger and remaining miso. Cook until the leeks are soft. Add the pak choi and rice with 1 tbsp water, breaking up the rice with the back of a spoon. Cook until the pak choi is wilted, then turn the heat down to low.
• Drizzle the remaining oil over the mackerel and season. Put the fillets skin-side up on the grill pan and grill for 2-3 mins until just flaking.
• Pour the dressing into the greens and rice. Mix well and divide between two bowls. Put the mackerel on top and scatter over the chilli and ginger.
