Sardines & Egg Rice Bowl

Sprinkle with Sake (Rice Wine) over the drained Sardines.

Slice Spring Onion coarsely, save some finely sliced green part for topping.

Combine Dashi (OR Water), Sugar, Mirin, Soy Sauce and Ginger in a small frying pan or saucepan, and bring to the boil over medium heat. Add coarsely sliced Spring Onion (and Shimeji / Shiitake if you use), and cook until soft.

Place drained Sardines over the mixture, pour the egg over evenly, sprinkle with the finely sliced Spring Onion. DO NOT stir. Cover the pan with a lid, if you have it, and cook until the egg is set.

Half fill a bowl with Freshly Cooked Rice and cover it with the mixture.
