My Family's Golden Ratio for Basic Fish Simmered in Soy Sauce instructions

1. Place all of the A ingredients into a level pot or a large frying pan and place over strong heat..
2. After Step 1 comes to a boil, add the ginger and prepared fish while making sure they don't overlap. Place the pieces so that the side that will face up when served is on top..
3. Turn the heat down to low, and ladle the broth onto the dishes several times. The fish is not flipped over while cooking, so make sure to cook the top surface first..
4. Cover Step 3 with a drop lid (or a paper towel), and turn the heat to a high low. Simmer the fish until it cooks through to the center, and it is done..
5. It takes about 6-12 minutes to simmer in Step 4 after covering with the drop lid. The time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the fish. It took seven minutes to cook the flounder shown in the photo..
6. Warm up Step 4 before serving. Serve the fish onto a dish, top with some of the broth, and enjoy..
7. I used 1/3 portions to cook a small scorpion fish..
8. The fish is thick and difficult to cover with the broth, so cover with a drop lid and a normal lid, turn the heat down to the degree that the broth doesn't boil over..
9. This fish is small, so it cooked in 5 minutes after covering it with a drop lid. Use a drop lid or drop lid combined with a regular lid accordingly..
10. If you want to make the accompanying broth richer. I usually make this as written, but feel free to boil down just the broth over a high heat and pour some onto the fish..
11. Point: Please be careful not to vigorously boil in Step 4. The temperature is perfect if the broth is gently boiling out from around the edges of the drop lid..
12. Caution: The fish will fall apart easily, so keep an eye on the temperature and the doness of the fish (it also effects the texture)..
