Horse Mackerel with Vinegar Soy Sauce Aji Nanbanzuke (EASY)

Nanbanzuke is a tasty way to eat more fish. In particular, aji or horse mackerel! Rather than marinate the fish before cooking, we do it after. How about that? While I wish that'd mean less prep, there's still a little we'll need to do since we're working with a whole fish - horse mackerel!

Nanbanzuke literally translated means southern barbarian seasoning, there are other preparations of this, but using aji is my favorite. Essentially, nanbanzuke is made of vinegar and soy sauce.

Vinegar provides acidity while soy sauce provides umami and savory notes. The nanbanzuke marinade won't be used completely and can be saved to drizzle on top.

The vinegar also makes this a light and refreshing dish. Perfect in hot weather as well as cold. That means you can eat this dish all year round. That's right all year round!

If you don't have access to aji or horse mackerel, you can substitute chicken. It works just as well and the flavor is delicious!

Question of the day - have you made aji nanbanzuke yet? let me know in the comments!

PRO TIPS -

--double the recipe and eat it cold the next day! All you need are some steamed vegetables and Japanese rice!
--consider adding some bell peppers, shishito peppers, or event some brocolli to the saute pan after cooking your protein, then marinate in the nanbanzuke sauce. that way you'll round out your Japanese style meal with some vegetables too!
