A quick and easy 5-minute dish made by coating oil-free canned mackerel with potato starch, pan-frying until crispy, then simmering in universal soy sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Unlike flour, which burns easily under heat, potato starch is heat-resistant and maintains its crisp texture longer without burning.
  • Coating the mackerel with potato starch allows the starch to absorb the universal soy sauce completely, preventing the sauce from sitting on top and enhancing deep flavor penetration.
  • Adding sesame oil at the end maximizes its rich, nutty aroma in the final dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a clean, sweet-salty stewed fish dish without any fishy odor.
  • People looking to prepare a delicious main side dish in just 5 to 10 minutes during a busy day.
