Yoon Yi-ryeon's Mackerel Chueotang

A rich and savory nourishing chueotang made by thoroughly boiling affordable fresh mackerel instead of expensive loach, straining out the bones, and simmering.

Ingredients needed 8 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you blend the mackerel in a mixer, the broth becomes cloudy and heavy, so straining only the soft flesh through a sieve keeps it clean.
  • When boiling the mackerel, keep the lid off for the first 5 minutes to let the fishy smell dissipate.
  • Add mung bean sprouts raw without blanching to infuse a refreshing taste into the broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a hearty nourishing dish at home at a low cost.
  • Those who find handling loach or eel daunting and want to create chueotang flavor with mackerel.
