ChanChan yaki

Hello.

ChanChan yaki is a fish dish cooked with a lot of vegetables and sweet Miso. It is a local dish in Hokkaido Japan. Hokkaido is a big island in northern Japan and agriculture is flourishing so we can eat fresh and delicious fish there. ChanChan yaki is usually cooked with salmon but trout is also nice.

I usually cook ChanChan yaki with rainbow trout but when it is hard to buy it, I cook with frozen fish. Also, we can use leftover vegetables to consume for a day.

Ingredient

• ☆ 4 tablespoons of Miso

• ☆ 3 tablespoons of cooking sake

• ☆ 2 tablespoons of sugar

• ☆ Sliced 1 to 2 cloves of garlic

• (☆ some dried chili if you want)

• Fish

• Some vegetables (carrot, onions, chinese cabbage, cabbage, mushrooms, bok choy, etc)

Fresh whole fish

1. Mix all ☆ingredients in a bowl and put the sauce into the fish stomach.

2. Cook cut vegetables by the microwave. (around 2 minutes)

3. Wrap fish and vegetables with a cooking sheet or foil and cook it by oven 180℃ for 20-30 minutes until cooked well.

Sliced fish/ Frozen fish

1. Mix all ☆ingredients in the bowl.

2. ＊If you have sliced flesh fish, grill it until both the skin is crispy and a nice golden brown colour. It is OK if the inside of the fish is still raw.

＊ If you have frozen fish, put fish in the bottom of the pan or pot.

3. Put all cut vegetables on the top of fish or around fish.

4. Add ☆mixture on the top of vegetables and put the lid on.

☆Adding butter makes it nicer :)
