Baek Jong-won's Pollack Stew (Dongtae Jjigae)

Cooking tips
- Adding frozen pollack directly can result in a cloudy broth and fishy smell. Always use completely thawed pollack.
- If you find it difficult to achieve a good spicy stew flavor, adding a little doenjang and minced ginger will help eliminate fishiness and significantly enhance the umami.
- If salted shrimp is unavailable, it can be substituted with fish sauce. However, for a refreshing and uniquely deep flavor, using salted shrimp is highly recommended.
- Pollack releases its refreshing flavor the longer it simmers, so it's best to simmer it gently over medium heat for an extended period.
Recommended for
- Those who want to try making a clean and refreshing fish stew without any fishy odor.
- Those looking for a spicy and deep broth accompaniment that pairs perfectly with soju.
- Those who need a foolproof, popular spicy stew recipe, from how to prepare pollack to balancing the seasoning paste.
