Koi simmered in nothing but sugar and shoyu until the liquid is gone.

Usage

Reducing takes its time

It sits on the heat about three times as long as a pot of rice, until the liquid is gone. The shoyu bottle comes back empty on the spot, so your bottle count does not fall.

In the real world

This winter and New Year dish of inland Akita cuts koi into rounds, rinses the blood away under running water, then simmers them in sugar and shoyu — first hard, then gently — until the liquid is gone.

Differences in game

Boneless koi fillets replace bone-in rounds, rinsing away the blood is omitted, and the cooking liquid contains no sake.
