Mackerel Rice Bowl

20231127, #breakfastdiary 905, 5°C/drizzle It's a world where stopping yourself feels as hard as dodging raindrops in the monsoon season. In an era designed to push fast, constant consumption, taking part in less exploitation takes both will and joy. Guilt alone can only carry you so far. It's time to redirect the mind and practice a new kind of pleasure. Words from the writer #leeseula (full piece: 'In Search of the Joy of Buying Less,' The Kyunghyang Shinmun) Mix 2 soy sauce, 2 cooking wine, 1 sugar, 0.5 minced garlic, and 1/2 cup water to make the sauce. Lay the mackerel in a pan, pour over the sauce, and sear both sides, then chop scallions to tame the fishy smell. (Save a little of the sauce.) Pile the scallions generously into a bowl, place the mackerel on top, pour the reserved sauce over it like a dressing, chop everything together thoroughly, and mix well before eating.
