Ingredients

• mullet (600 – 700 g) – 2 whole
• soy sauce – 4 – 5 tbsp

• sunflower oil – 2 tbsp
• butter – 2 tbsp
• salt – 0.5 tsp
• ground black pepper – ¼ tsp

Method

1. Step 1

   A very simple and tasty dish. And most importantly, you don’t need to prepare the side dish separately - everything is ready right away!

   
2. Step 2

   Let's prepare the fish. We peel off the husks, take out the insides and cut off the head. We clean the black film inside well, otherwise it will taste bitter and ruin the whole taste. We make shallow cuts slightly obliquely along the entire carcass on both sides (we cut roughly the way the bones are located).

   
3. Step 3

   The carcass can be rubbed with fish spices, just use it without adding salt. Place the fish in a deep container and pour soy sauce over it. Leave to soak for 30-60 minutes, turning occasionally so that the sauce is evenly distributed.

   
4. Step 4

   Let's prepare the filling. Boil the rice in salted water until tender. Cut the onion into cubes and grate the carrots. Fry in a mixture of vegetable and butter. Mix rice with vegetables, add salt and pepper.

   
5. Step 5

   Place the fish in a baking dish and stuff it with rice filling. You can pour the remaining soy sauce on top.
