Kim Dae-seok's Jogijorim

A secret braised dish where yellow croaker is lightly pan-fried first, then simmered in a sauce containing soybean paste and soju to keep the flesh intact.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

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.
