Method

Preparation of the Misoyaki Black Cod

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine miso paste, mirin, sake, and brown sugar. Mix well until sugar dissolves. Add the black cod fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the fish from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Preparation of Forbidden Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the forbidden rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rice with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Preparation of Chilled Namul Vegetable

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Blanch spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, then plunge into ice water. Squeeze out excess water. In a bowl, combine spinach, carrot, and bean sprouts. Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce, tossing to combine. Chill in the refrigerator.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds over the chilled vegetables.

Preparation of Wasabi Reduction

  1. 6

    Make the Reduction

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine wasabi paste, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until slightly thickened.
