Recipe
Cooking tips
- Sprinkling soju evenly on the yellow croaker fillets before cooking not only softens the tough texture but also helps prevent spoilage and removes fishy odor during long-term storage.
- Adding dried kelp to the marinade while aging allows its savory umami to blend deeply into the pickle, enhancing overall flavor.
- Do not add garlic and sesame oil to the entire batch at once, as they may cause spoilage; instead, add them gradually each time you serve, after one month of aging.
Recommended for
- Those who want a satisfying side dish that can be made in advance and enjoyed over a long period.
- Those seeking a spicy-sweet pickle with no fishy taste, featuring deep umami from yellow croaker fillets.
- Those interested in learning traditional pickling methods that develop richer flavors through aging.
