Ingredients

Servings
  • 200 g cod skinless, fillets
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 2 drops Food Coloring or natural substitute like beetroot juice, pink

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add 200 g cod fillets. Boil for 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  2. Drain and place the cooked cod in a bowl of cold water to cool it. I recommend using a sieve to save any broken pieces of cod. Gently rub the surface of the cod to wash it, then drain the water and rinse with fresh water.
  3. Pat the surface dry with kitchen paper and then rub the filets between your fingers to break it into fine flakes.
  4. Mix 4 tsp sugar,1 pinch salt,1 tbsp sake and 2 drops pink food coloring in a bowl until dissolved.
  5. Place the cod flakes in a cold non-stick frying pan and pour in the mixture from the previous step. Heat the pan over a low heat and mix continuously to prevent browning.
  6. Cook until the liquid has evaporated the flakes are mostly dry with a small amount of moisture.
  7. Use for sushi, rice balls or bento boxes! Enjoy!
