Cooking tips

  • When stir-frying the kimchi, adding 1 cup of water prevents burning and helps it soften.
  • Add the mackerel only after the radish is fully cooked to keep the fish from breaking apart.
  • If using sour kimchi, add 1-2 tbsp sugar to balance the sourness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a rich, savory braised mackerel without any fishy smell.
  • Those looking for a rice thief main dish with tender kimchi and crisp radish.
  • Those curious about the fail-proof secret seasoning sauce ratio in banchan shop style.
