Ingredients
- Water 700 ml
- Mirin 180 ml
- Sake 200 ml
- Soy sauce 140 ml
- Sugar 50g
- Tilapia filets
- Cilantro
Personal Notes
I think cilantro fits well with this sauce. I should try using a whole fish rather than filets; it may need to cook longer but might have more flavor. This time I had less sake, so I compensated by adding more mirin and reduced sugar, but trying to cook with more sake next time may balance the sweetness a bit more, although the taste was overall okay.
