Cooking tips 💡

• Lightly frying the yellow croaker in cooking oil before braising firms up the flesh so it does not break apart during cooking.
• Adding a small amount of soju and soybean paste to the sauce effectively removes the fishy odor characteristic of saltwater fish.
• For saltwater fish braises, use a soy sauce and soybean paste base instead of gochujang to ensure the broth flavor is clean rather than heavy.

Recommended for 🙋

• ⭐Those who struggle with fish falling apart when braising.
• ⭐Those who want a clean, sweet, and savory fish braise side dish without any fishy smell.
