Step:

Place Fish cutlets OR fillets on a large plate, sprinkle with Sake (Rice Wine), and set aside. This process is important to achieve clean & pleasant flavour.
Place Soy Sauce, Mirin and Sugar in a frying pan, heat over medium heat until Sugar dissolved. Check the flavour, add extra Sugar if you like.
Add Sake (OR Water) and Ginger (OR Garlic), and bring to the boil. Once the sauce starts boiling, place the fish, cover with a lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Carefully turn the fish over, cover with the lid, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid and allow the sauce thickens slightly.
