Cooking tips

  • Laying sliced onions at the bottom of the pot prevents the radish from sticking and burning during prolonged cooking.
  • Flipping the radish halfway through ensures even color and flavor distribution without making the dish overly salty.
  • The final 5 minutes should be cooked uncovered to evaporate moisture, allowing the sauce to cling firmly to the surface of the radish and fish cake, enhancing the flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a clean, savory radish stew without the hassle or fishy odor of seafood ingredients.
  • People who enjoy soft, tender radish that melts in the mouth after long simmering.
  • Those looking for an affordable, hearty one-week side dish recipe.
