Kim Dae-seok's Braised Hairtail with Zucchini and Radish

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Marinating radish and zucchini in soy sauce and rice syrup before cooking ensures even seasoning and helps maintain their texture—preventing them from falling apart while preserving a pleasant chewiness.
• Adding a small amount of doenjang and soju to the sauce effectively masks the fish’s natural fishy odor and enhances the dish with a rich, savory umami depth.
• Before cooking, lightly scrape off the scales of the hairtail fish with a knife and rinse thoroughly to prevent cloudy broth and lingering fishy taste.
