Recipe
Cooking tips
- Including a small amount of doenjang (for stew) along with gochujang in the sauce helps suppress any residual fishy taste and brings out the deep, hearty flavor characteristic of Korean braised dishes.
- The finished seasoned grilled mackerel is delicious on its own, but it is also fantastic when served over rice with a pour of cool, slightly bitter bottled green tea (like ochazuke) for a perfect combination.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make grilled or braised fish at home but hesitate because of splattering oil and fishy smoke spreading from the gas stove.
- Those who are tired of simple soy sauce or salt grilled mackerel and want a spicy, savory, and appetizing fish side dish.
