First, you should make the miso marinade, then make the the cod.
Ingredients for the miso marinade
¾ cup (150ml) Sake
¾ cup (150ml) mirin
2 cups (450g) white miso paste
1 ¼ cup (225g) granulated sugar
(See the ingredients box below for the rest of the ingredients.)
Method for the miso marinade
Bring the sake and mirin to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Boil for 20 seconds to evaporate the alcohol.
Turn the heat down to low and add the miso paste, mixing with a wooden spoon. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add the sugar, stirring constantly with the wooden spoon to ensure that the bottom of the pan doesn’t burn. Remove from heat once the sugar is fully dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
