Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Be thorough in removing the initial foam to prevent the fishy smell from transferring into the sauce.
  • Cooking over high heat—not low—allows the mirin and sugar components to concentrate, creating a glossy sheen on the fish surface.
  • If Japanese soybean paste is unavailable, use regular traditional soybean paste, strained through a sieve to remove any residue for a smooth texture.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a soft, sweet-savory alternative to spicy Korean fish stews.
  • Beginners hesitant to cook fish dishes due to concerns about fishy odor.
