Main Ingredients
- 140g White Fish Fillet, thawed (recommended)
- 2 Tbsp Dried Seaweed
- 250ml Water (Rice cooker line 2)
- 1 handful Radish, julienned
- 1/4 Onion, julienned
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the ingredients. In the inner pot of your rice cooker, add the thawed fish fillet (140g), julienned onion (1/4), julienned radish (about a handful), dried anchovy powder (1 Tbsp), soup soy sauce (1 Tbsp), and dried seaweed (2 Tbsp). You don’t need to soak the seaweed; simply rinse it under running water until clean and add it directly. Finally, pour in 250ml of water (up to line 2 on your rice cooker) and select the ‘Reheat’ function for 9 minutes. The radish is crucial here as it helps eliminate any fishy odor, ensuring a clean and pure broth. If you enjoy a touch of spice, feel free to add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes at this stage. For the fish, it’s best to choose a white fish that is naturally less prone to fishiness and has a mild flavor, such as cod, pollack, or croaker.
Step 2
Once the first reheating cycle is complete, gently flip the fish pieces in the soup within the rice cooker. Then, select the ‘Reheat’ function again for another 9 minutes. This second cycle ensures the fish becomes tender and its flavors fully infuse the broth. Here’s a special tip: if you like a chewier texture, try adding some hand-pulled pasta dough (sujebi) to the soup. If you add sujebi, you might need a little more liquid, so feel free to add some boiling water if needed. If the seasoning isn’t quite right, you can adjust it at the end by adding the optional seasoning mix. (Seasoning Mix: 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce, 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes, 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (or minced garlic), 1 tsp Sesame Oil, Chopped Scallions).
Step 3
After the reheating is finished, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the soup and stir gently to combine. The nutty aroma of the sesame oil will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 4
Serve this delicious fish miyeokguk hot with a bowl of rice. It’s not only great for boosting energy but also easy to digest, making it a nourishing meal suitable for everyone, young and old.
