How to Make Saikyo Yaki (Grilled White Miso-Marinated Fish) - Video Recipe

Saikyo Yaki is a very popular traditional Japanese grilled fish marinated in Saikyo Miso (sweet white Miso) made in Kyoto. After marinating the fish fillets (black cod, salmon, sea bass, Japanese spanish mackerel, etc…) overnight, Miso soaks into the fish, tenderizes, and gives absolutely delicious, sweet and rich flavor! Perfect dish to go with white rice :)

Saikyo Miso (white Miso) is usually available at a local Japanese grocery store. You can substitute the Saikyo Miso with regular miso, but it may become saltier.



If you get a chance to go to Kyoto, I recommend trying out 九重味噌 (Kokonoemiso)! Their Saikyo Miso is amazingly good :)

Saikyo Yaki (Grilled White Miso-Marinated Fish)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: overnight
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
4 fish fillets (black cod, salmon, sea bass, Japanese spanish mackerel, etc…)
salt
A
* 300g (10.5oz.) Saikyo white Miso
* 3 tbsp. Sake
* 3 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)

Directions:
1. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the fillets of your choice. Set aside for about 30 minutes. By salting the fish fillets, the fishy smell and excess moisture can be removed, so do not skip this step.
2. Mix A very well.
3. In a shallow container, spread half of the Miso marinade. Place surgical gauze over the marinade. Pat dry the fish with paper towel. Lay the fish fillets so that they don't overlap, then press them lightly to set in place. Fold the other half of the gauze over the fish to enclose them. Spread the remaining marinade over the gauze. Cover with the lid or plastic wrap. Let them marinate in the fridge for overnight to 2 days (2 days max is enough as the fish will get too salty). *By using gauze, you don't have to rinse off the marinade before cooking. Excess marinade on the fish may burn easily.
4. If you didn't use gauze, remove the marinade completely. Cook the fish until golden brown on both sides.

oven: 220C (428F) for about 15 min
toaster oven: 1000w for about 8 min
fish grill: low heat for 5 min on both sides

*you can reuse the marinade 2-3 times. pork, chicken, and/or shiitake mushrooms are also good.

*you can use crumpled aluminum foil instead of using the aluminum foil for frying pan.

How to Make 5 Ingredients Shiroi Koibito (Chocolat Blanc et Langue de Chat) - Video Recipe

Shiroi Koibito (白い恋人), literally means "White Lovers", also called Chocolat Blanc et Langue de Chat, is the best and well-known souvenir sweet from Hokkaido which consists of two thin butter cookies and a layer of white chocolate in between.

Langue de Chat is "cat's tongue-shaped thin cookies". I don't know why Shiroi Koibito is square-shaped… Anyways, it is very popular! haha



---------------------------------
5 Ingredients Shiroi Koibito (Chocolat Blanc et Langue de Chat)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) butter *salted is ok
100g cake flour *all purpose flour is ok
1 egg
60g (2.1oz.) granulated sugar
240g (8.5oz.) white chocolate

Directions:
1. Draw about an inch and a half squares (leaving about an inch between) on a piece of paper.
2. Melt butter in a microwave (in a microwavable dish) and cream it in a bowl. Add granulated sugar, egg, and cake flour (sift), in order and mix well. *Yes, you can add vanilla extract to taste.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C (356F).
4. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag and snip off the end. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the template under the parchment paper. Pipe out the batter in the squares (the batter will spread a little, so keep it smaller). Then remove the template. *You can bake 60 thin cookies.
5. Bake at 180C (356F) for 8-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
6. Melt 120g (4.2oz.) white chocolate over a double boiler, line 6-inch square pan with plastic wrap (or use aluminium foil! I heard it is much easier and you may not need a square pan), then pour in the chocolate and spread evenly. Place it in the freezer to harden up a little bit. Cut it into 16 squares. *You can make 16 thin chocolates using a 6-inch square pan, so repeat the step to make 32 chocolates.
7. While the chocolate is soft, place it between two cookies. Place the cookies in the freezer to harden up completely.

You'd better keep the cookies in the fridge in summer.
You can store at the room temperature in winter, of course.
