Lee Hye-jung's Braised Mackerel with Kimchi

Thick slices of radish are first simmered with cheongju, then seasoned with sour kimchi and kimchi liquid for a foolproof, gently simmered braised mackerel.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Simmering the radish whole with cheongju first prevents it from breaking apart and maximizes its refreshing sweetness.
  • The kimchi liquid itself contains garlic and ginger seasoning, so no additional seasonings are needed to remove any off-odors.
  • If you reduce the liquid too much, the fish flesh will become dry, so turn off the heat while there is still some broth left.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a clean, refreshing braised dish without any fishy mackerel smell.
  • Those who want to easily create deep flavor with kimchi liquid without complicated seasonings.
  • Those who want to make a braised fish dish where the radish stays firm and absorbs the seasoning well.
