Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid slicing potatoes and radish too thin, as they may break apart during cooking; keep them about 1cm thick.
  • Using about half a can of the canned liquid adds a rich, savory depth to the stew.
  • The doenjang and minced ginger in the marinade effectively neutralize the natural fishy smell of the mackerel.
  • Cooking uncovered during the final 5 minutes allows moisture to evaporate, thickening the sauce and intensifying the seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those who find handling fresh fish intimidating but still want a rich, flavorful fish stew.
  • People looking to create a generous main side dish with minimal cost under ten thousand won.
  • Fans of mashed potatoes and radishes soaked in deeply seasoned sauce, perfect for eating with rice.
