  • 4 spinach leaves or sprigs of watercress
  • ½ pound filleted fluke (or other white-meat fish) with skin left on, cut into 8 pieces

  • How To Cook:
    1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan and drop in the spinach or watercress. As soon as it returns to the boil, drain the leaves in a sieve and run cold water over them. Set aside.

    3. Steam the bowls of food for 6 minutes in an Oriental steamer or steamer substitute. Then add a sprig of blanched spinach or watercress to each bowl, and top each with 1 teaspoon of oboro kombu.

    4. Serve with wedges of lemon, or chirizu dipping sauce, as a small, accompanying dish in a Japanese meal.
