Cooking tips

  • Avoid stirring the mackerel too often during cooking, as this may cause the flesh to break apart easily—let it cook undisturbed for a cleaner result.
  • The broth inside the mackerel can is key to the rich umami flavor—never discard it; use it entirely as the stew base.
  • Even a small amount of ginger helps reduce fishy odor and adds depth of flavor, so it’s highly recommended.

Recommended for

  • Those who are intimidated by fish prep or want a quick way to enjoy a fish stew.
  • People who love deeply flavorful, richly infused kimchi stew with tender, well-cooked kimchi.
