Kim Dae-seok's Seasoned Raw Skate
A festive dish made by removing fishy odors with makgeolli and vinegar, then marinating radish in natural salt and malt syrup for a firm, chewy texture, tossed in a secret spicy-sweet gochujang sauce with fresh perilla and other ingredients.

Cooking tips
- Never rinse skate after soaking—washing it under water will wash away its unique flavor and aroma. Simply squeeze out moisture by hand.
- Adding malt syrup when curing radish enhances osmotic pressure, drawing out moisture effectively and creating a firmer, chewier texture.
- If you mix vegetables with the skate and radish right away, they’ll wilt quickly and the dressing won’t adhere properly. Always mix the skate and radish with half the sauce first before adding vegetables.
- Adding 1/2 tablespoon of doenjang to the sauce balances the sharpness and adds depth and umami richness to the overall flavor.
Recommended for
- Those looking to prepare a main Korean side dish for holidays or guest gatherings.
- Home cooks who want to recreate a premium skate salad with no fishy taste and chewy radish, just like restaurant versions.
- Fans of tangy-sweet-spicy, deeply savory makgeolli pairings as an ideal soju accompaniment.
