Cooking tips

  • Searing soy sauce along the pan’s edge creates a Maillard reaction, adding deep, savory flavor and richness.
  • Adding soju during cooking helps evaporate alcohol while effectively removing the fishy smell from barley cod.
  • Using tuna sauce delivers a rich, umami depth easily, eliminating the need for additional seasonings.

Recommended for

  • Those needing a spicy, tangy palate cleanser after heavy holiday meals.
  • People who want to enjoy barley cod without any fishy odor, in a unique and delicious way.
