STEP 1/13
I prepared fresh horse mackerel. If it's live fish, you can eat it right away, but I froze it in the freezer a day ago to catch a roundworm
*You should be careful because mackerel or horse mackerel may have whale roundworms
* Whale roundworms die if left at minus 20 degrees Celsius for 24 hours
*If it's the first time you freeze it, the taste doesn't deteriorate much even if you defrost it
STEP 2/13
When the ice is not fully melted, I cut the raw fish and it comes out to about 80g
Cut the sliced raw fish into thinly
STEP 3/13
Sprinkle 3T of bay salt on it and soak it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
*Pickle, lose moisture, and the roundworm will die
*Pickle within 30 minutes. It's salty if you leave it for longer
STEP 4/13
If you want to eat it with rice, you can cook it now. Mix 0.5t of salt, 2t of sugar, and 3t of vinegar with rice for one serving
STEP 5/13
After 30 minutes, pour water into the bowl and melt all the salt
STEP 6/13
If you look at pickled horse mackerel, it's dry and chewy
STEP 7/13
Rinse the horse mackerel in new water and strain it through a sieve
It's just enough to taste good
STEP 8/13
Drain all the water in a kitchen bowl that overlaps back and forth
STEP 9/13
Place the dried horse mackerel sashimi in a bowl, pour 2T vinegar and 1T refined rice wine, and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes
*The flesh of the horse becomes a little white due to the acid of the vinegar. Since it's already sliced raw fish, put it in vinegar for 10 minutes
STEP 10/13
It's pickled. It's firm
STEP 11/13
Wipe the vinegar from the kitchen bowl back and forth
*Clean it and store it in the refrigerator for 2 more days
STEP 12/13
Fold 1t of wasabi powder and 1t of water to mix, or prepare wasabi paste according to your preference
STEP 13/13
Put the pickled horse mackerel sashimi on the rice, add a handful of chopped green onions, sesame seeds, 1T of sashimi soy sauce, and 1T of sesame oil
