Nickey's Sardines

"I don't eat sardines very often but this is the way my DH taught me to make them...I used to just heat them served over rice with a little soy sauce. This is a lot more flavorful!"

  1. I just had a wonderful and healthy lunch. This was very good and I will be stocking sardines in my pantry from now on. I only made a few small changes. I put all ingredients in the pan except the fish and chili peppers (which I left out all together) and added a drizzle of honey and boiled until it started to thicken then added the fish and cooked gently while coating with the sauce. I served over Jasmine rice along with a salad with ginger dressing and mandarin oranges for dessert. A lovely and satisfying bento that I will make often. Thank you for posting this. UPDATE: I made this into a sushi roll with cucumber and avocado. I dabbed a bit of the sauce on top of the cut roll like they do for eel. I put it in my Bento box along with just a cucumber roll, some pickled ginger, miso soup and green tea. It was a wonderful lunch.
     
  2. This was surprisingly good. I've never cooked sardines before but wanted to try it as I've been meaning to get more Omega 3s in my diet. It was uber quick and tasted pretty good. I served it over brown rice and mashed it all up and mixed it up. My sardines came in a flat tin and there were only 4 per tin, so I used two tins for the two of us. It had a familiar taste, though I couldn't quite put my finger on where I've had this before. Good recipe. Thank you!
     
  3. WOWEE!!! Who would have thunk that such an EASY recipe would be one of the BEST I've tried on Zaar so far?...and that's saying a lot! This was so incredibly FLAVORFUL and SATISFYING! I made it to share with my husband but neither of us wanted to share! I served it atop sushi rice and then sprinkled toasted sesame seeds over it all. YUM YUM YUM! I used Crown Prince boneless skinless sardine fillets packed in olive oil (which I used), 3 green onions, the fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and the sesame oil. Made for PAC Spring 2007.
     
  4. This is a very easy and quick way to enjoy sardines. I usually just heat them with some onion and chili sauce, but his is much tastier and doesn't take much more time at all. I prepared this exactly as written and had it over leftover brown rice I had in the freezer. Very fast and healthy!
     
  5. Easy and tasty. I followed the recipe exactly, but added sesame seeds like in the picture. I ate it over rice with pickled onions on the side. Healthy and satisfying.

<p>Aloha! I just recently started spending more time in the kitchen and am learning that cooking and baking can be fun as well as challenging. My favorite cookbook resources are my 'gourmet' sister and the very patient and generous Ohana of Zaar.&nbsp;Mahalo nui loa! <br /><br />My rating system: The first time I try a recipe, I follow the instructions as given; if I do a little tweaking, I keep that in mind when rating. It's not right to rate lower because of something I did or didn't do. <br />***** ... Excellent! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />**** &nbsp;... Loved It! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />No stars ... May be an excellent recipe but I was unable to get it to work for me. May or may not try again later. We don't all have the same taste preferences. I've found recipes with lots of five stars that just didn't work for me and some with less that I thought were great. <br />Thank you All for sharing!</p>
