Shin Dong-min's Black Sea Bream with Ginger Stew

A harmonious sweet-salty stew featuring tender black sea bream, where soy sauce is added later to gently enhance sweetness, balanced by the sharpness of ginger and peperoncino.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding soy sauce from the beginning causes osmotic pressure that prevents the sweetness from penetrating deeply into the fish and vegetables; adding it later is the key trick.
  • Rounding off the sharp edges of hard root vegetables like radish and carrot helps keep the broth clear and clean even after prolonged simmering.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a gourmet restaurant-style stew using the rich, fatty special cuts of seasonal black sea bream.
  • Those seeking a perfectly balanced sweet-salty umami flavor where the seasoning fully permeates the fish without clinging to the surface.
