Fish bit

Fry a sliced medium onion in sesame oil on a medium heat for 1 minute Add 2 deep-fried cod pieces (or haddock if you are environmentally conscious) to the pan. Put the lid on and cook for 1 min
No need to turn them in the pan Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the pan. It will sizzle immediately, so add 100 ml (or just cover the bottom of the pan) of hot dashi stock, which can be made by diluting a concentrated one, or dissolving one from a sachet in hot water.
Put the lid on, reduce the heat a little and simmer for 5-6 minutes Beat 4 eggs with chopped spring onions and shredded mange-touts.
Add the mixture to the pan. Leave to settle for 2-3 minutes or so on a low heat until the egg mixture is very very softly set (I normally leave the eggs very runny) Serve on freshly cooked rice Sprinkle red chili and/or Japanese pepper if you have any .

Nikujyaga

Fry 100g or so of bacon and sliced one large onion in vegetable oil in a pan on a moderate heat. Keep them soft but slightly brown. Don't fry them until they are crisp! Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce to the pan
Add the chips (one portion will do) and give it a stir Add 100ml of hot dashi stock (or just half cover the chips) Add a pinch of crushed chilies
Shimmer for 5 minutes Serve with sliced spring onions (green bits) Serves 2 as a side dish

Additional Information

You can buy a real fish and chips from a chippy, but a supermarket version is more suitable because they are smaller (hence sits better on a bowl of rice)

This was my attempt to make a Japanese dish using what is available in London. (I am a Japanese bloke who has been living in the UK for the past 15 years). My boyfriend who had never eaten even Sushi before going out with me likes this one very much.
