Miso-Braised Milkfish Set Meal

Steps

1. 1
   Place the milkfish fillet skin-side down in a hot pan. Slice the green onion, cut the ginger into thin slices, and mince the garlic.
2. 2
   Pour the dashi stock, sake, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce into the pan with the fish. Add the green onion, ginger slices, and garlic.
3. 3
   Simmer until the broth reduces. When nearly done, add the miso paste to preserve its aroma rather than cooking it too long.
4. 4
   Allow the fish and sauce to cool and absorb flavors thoroughly. Gently reheat just before serving.
5. 5
   Cut the daikon radish into pieces. Simmer in 600cc of dashi stock with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce until tender.
6. 6
   Add the nori sheets to the daikon soup and season to taste with salt and pepper.
7. 7
   Plate the miso-braised milkfish and serve with the daikon-nori soup and rice to complete the set meal.
