Recently came upon a site for everything beer (in Japanese only).
Not only do they talk about beer but they have recipes that pair with beer.
I recently tried one of their recipes because I wanted to use up some cilantro and potatoes that I had.
The recipe was super easy and tasty.
Sabajaga from Beergirl.net
1 can saba (mackerel), water packed about 180-200 grams
2 potatoes about 180-200 grams total
cilantro or watercress
shoyu (soy sauce)
Wash and cut potato into cubes.
Cook your potatoes until soft.
Peel the potatoes then mash them.
In a skillet (pan) add the mashed potato and canned fish with the canning water and break up the fish with a wooden spoon
On medium heat, cook until the water evaporates
Add some shoyu
Serve with cilantro or watercress
Beer that they recommended to pair with : IPA
NOTES: Instead of peeling the potatoes after they were cooked, I just washed them well, so I could leave the skins on.
Also instead of mashing them, I just smooshed them a little.
Instead of using shoyu, I put a little of this saku saku shoyu by Kikkoman's Cocoro Dining (photo from internet).
This condiment is super flavorful and I like the crunch from the almonds.
We've used it on salad instead of dressing already.
For this recipe, instead of shoyu or this saku saku type, I think the next time I make this I will use some fish sauce.
And will mash the potato so that when I put it into the pan, it will brown up and form a little crust on the bottom.
I'm glad I tried this and will make it again.
It's another 3-day weekend here (the New Emperor's birthday), hope you have a nice weekend.

Nice recipe Kat!
omigod that zaku zaku shoyu sounds divine!
Thanks Kirk :)
Rowena, it is a mixture of shoyu, oil, fried garlic, fried onion. And the version I have has roasted almonds in it also.
Take care you two.
