Saba koumiyaki(サバの香味焼き)
What kind of dish is Saba koumiyaki??
Rich, fatty mackerel is marinated in a special sweet and savory Perilla (Shiso) sauce and then pan-fried until fragrant. The deep flavor of the sauce thoroughly permeates the mackerel’s umami, while the refreshingly crisp aroma of Perilla leaves (also known as Ōba in Japanese markets) elevates the entire dish.
【Ideal for Bento (Lunch Boxes)】
Mackerel, being rich in high-quality fats, remains tender and does not harden when cooled. Its soft texture and rich flavor are well-preserved even over time, making this dish an excellent choice for a bento lunch box staple.
【Japanese Wisdom: Natural Antibacterial Effects】
Combining easily spoiled blue fish with the culinary herb Perilla is a practical piece of Japanese dietary wisdom. Perillaldehyde, the compound responsible for Perilla’s distinctive aroma, is known for its expected strong antibacterial and preservative properties. The use of this Perilla sauce is a logical method for enhancing the shelf-stability of the blue fish.
【Valuable Nutrition for the Modern Diet】
Blue fish like mackerel are rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA. These high-quality fats are recommended for consumption at approximately 2 grams per day, making this dish a healthy addition that should be actively incorporated into your diet. (It is recommended to consume blue fish about three times per week.)
