This Man's Cook Gomchi Can Jorim

A non-fishy, sweet-savory braised dish made by removing only the fish meat from a gomchi can and simmering it with gochujang-style sauce and perilla pepper.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Instead of using a separate strainer, use chopsticks to carefully extract the fish meat directly from the can—this reduces cleanup.
  • Trimming the ends of the perilla peppers helps the braising sauce seep evenly inside, preventing surface buildup.
  • To fully eliminate the fishy smell, first simmer the ginger slices, mirin, and perilla peppers to create a strong base flavor before adding the gomchi.
  • If using a stainless steel pan, the residual heat may cause burning even after turning off the stove, so remove from heat as soon as the sauce thickens.

Recommended for

  • Those hesitant to make fish stews at home due to concerns about fish preparation or fishy odor.
  • People who enjoy the spicy aroma of perilla peppers combined with the sweet-salty taste of tender fish meat.
  • Those looking to create a high-quality main side dish in just 15 minutes using canned products.
