Ingredients

*butterfish - 2 large pieces (substitute with yellowtail or mackerel is also nice!)
*smashed ginger- 1 tea spoon

Sauce

*smashed garlic- 2 table spoons

*smashed ginger- 1 tea spoon

*soya sauce- 4 table spoons

*Japanese cooking sake (alcohol for cooking)- 4 table spoons

*sugar- 1 tea spoon

1. Boil the fish in a pot with water and ginger -- wait until the fish is fairly cooked and fish smell is gone

2. Put all the ingredients for the sauce in a large bowl and stir well. put the cooked fish inside. leave it to marinate for a few minutes.

3. Using strong fire, heat up a frying pan with oil and when hot, place fish in the pan. -- leave the remaining sauce in the bowl till the fish turns a nice golden brown

4. Turn the fire to down medium, pour the remaining sauce in the pan, place a lid on it and cook till all the sauce is absorbed. -- flip the fish over few times so that the fish absorbs the sauce equally.
