Kim Dae-seok's Hairtail Stew

Premium hairtail stew enhanced with ground omundongi and a spoon of doenjang for rich umami, with a light oil coating to preserve its chewy texture

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Grinding part of the omundongi into the seasoning greatly enhances the natural umami flavor of seafood.
  • Sautéing the blanched hairtail in cooking oil helps retain moisture, resulting in firmer, more savory flesh.
  • Never cook bean sprouts with the hairtail from the start—this causes them to lose crispness. Always boil them separately and add at the end.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a rich, hearty hairtail stew at home that rivals restaurant quality.
  • People curious about the secret to achieving deep umami without fishy odor in seafood stews.
  • Home cooks preparing impressive dishes for guests or special dinner occasions.
