Moonlight fish and sky bean rice : shio-yaki saba and sora-mame gohan

The moon is announcing rain ?
Let’s grill moon colored fish…
Soramame (sky bean) is the Japanese name of broad beans (favas).

In the rice cooker : soaked rice, a 1 tbs of mirin and the skins of the beans. So the rice is nicely flavored. Then I take away the skins and replaces with the green inside, add a pinch of salt, and let a few minutes in the steam.
My rice looks… dirty ? Well, it’s not white, it’s polished germinated rice, a healthier version of white rice.

The flavor + the color !

Shio-yaki is so simple : salt and grill. It’s saba (mackerel) and its precious healthy omega.

Of course, 2 items for a Japanese dinner, that would be too sad.
The rest of the menu is in next post.
