Step:

  1. Taste the Dried Sardines you are going to use. If very salty, you need to remove salt by pouring boiling water over them first.

  2. Cook Mirin, Sugar, Soy Sauce and Ginger in a saucepan over medium to low heat. When it started bubbling, add the fish.

  3. It is easy to burn, so carefully cook constantly mixing untill the sauce is thickened. Add Sesame seeds and combine all well.
