Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Searing the mackerel in a pan before braising firms up the flesh and removes fishy oils that cause unpleasant smells, resulting in a cleaner taste.
  • Instead of a pot lid, cover with a piece of aluminum foil with a hole in the center—this allows convection to evenly distribute the seasoning over the top of the fish.
  • Using soup soy sauce (gukganjang) and anchovy fish sauce instead of regular soy sauce creates a brighter, cleaner umami without a heavy or muddy taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to learn a clean, refreshing braised fish dish with no fishy smell.
  • Those who want to make a quick and easy, deeply flavorful rice thief side dish using frozen boneless mackerel at home.
