About this dish
Canned saury goes into a soy-seasoned stir-fry of oyster mushrooms and cabbage, and a teaspoon of lemon juice just before the heat goes off takes down the fishy smell.

The fish is already cooked, so it waits until the vegetables have dried out again and is folded in gently to keep the pieces large.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Drain the canned saury through a strainer for 2 to 3 minutes to remove the oil, then pick out any large bones.
Leaving too much canned oil will make the dish greasy.
- 2
Tear 140 g of oyster mushrooms along the grain, shred 100 g of cabbage into 1 cm strips, and slice 40 g of scallion into rounds.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, add the scallion and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and stir-fry for 30 seconds to infuse the oil with aroma.
- 4
Add mushrooms and cabbage and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Move on once the vegetables release moisture, the pan bottom dampens, and then dries again.
- 5
Add the canned saury flesh, then 1.5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 0.5 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, mixing gently with a spatula. Be careful not to break up the fish.
- 6
Cook over medium heat for 2 more minutes, then add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and turn off the heat.
The lemon juice cuts any fishiness and adds a bright acidity to the dish.
