Savory and Spicy Salted Mackerel and Radish Stew
How to Make Delicious Salted Mackerel and Radish Stew: A Perfect Lunch Side Dish Menu
Let’s make a delightful mackerel and radish stew.
Main Ingredients
- Salted mackerel 1.5 pieces
- Radish 1/2 medium (about 300g)
- 500ml broth (anchovy-kelp or rice water)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make ‘Salted Mackerel and Radish Stew,’ where sweet radish and savory mackerel come together for a delicious harmony. It’s the perfect side dish for a meal!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the seasoning sauce. Pour 500ml of broth into a pot. Add 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, and a handful of roughly chopped green onions. Mix them well and let the flavors meld for a moment.
Step 3
Next, spread the radish, cut into appropriate sizes (about 2cm thick), on the bottom of the pot. This prevents the mackerel from sticking and helps the seasoning penetrate evenly. Then, place the carefully prepared salted mackerel pieces on top. Since salted mackerel is already seasoned, you might want to adjust the amount of soy sauce based on its saltiness.
Step 4
Pour the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the mackerel and radish. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Spooning some of the sauce over the ingredients occasionally will help distribute the flavor evenly.
Step 5
When the sauce has thickened and the radish becomes translucent and tender, and the mackerel is well-infused with the flavor, your delicious ‘Salted Mackerel and Radish Stew’ is complete! It looks appealing on the table and its savory yet spicy taste will captivate your palate. Enjoy it with a bowl of warm rice!
