Dombaegi Skewer Ingredients

  • Dombaegi (thick cut)
  • Green onion (mostly white parts)
  • Salt
  • Mirin (rice wine)
  • Black pepper

Dombaegi Marinade & Seasoning

  • Soy sauce

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Prepare fresh Dombaegi. Look for pieces that are pinkish with distinct grain lines, indicating freshness. Lightly season the Dombaegi pieces with salt, black pepper, and mirin. Then, refrigerate for one to three days to allow it to mature. This aging process enhances the Dombaegi’s unique flavor.

Step 1

Step 2

Take the seasoned Dombaegi pieces. To prevent the meat from falling off during grilling, securely skewer each Dombaegi piece from top to bottom with wooden skewers. Alternate threading the Dombaegi pieces with cut sections of green onion onto the skewers, arranging them attractively. (Tip: Handle the Dombaegi gently as it can be delicate.)

Step 2

Step 3

Lightly oil a preheated pan. Arrange the prepared Dombaegi skewers neatly in the pan. Cook over low heat, ensuring all sides of the skewers are gently grilled until golden brown. Maintaining low heat is crucial for this step.

Step 3

Step 4

Dombaegi meat is tender and delicate compared to other fish. Overcooking on high heat can quickly burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked, or cause the juices to escape, resulting in dry meat. Therefore, it’s essential to cook it slowly and gently over low heat. Rotate the skewers to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Step 5

Well-grilled Dombaegi has a mild, savory, and nutty taste with very little fishy odor. While it’s delicious on its own without any sauce, you can enhance the flavor by serving it with a side of tangy gochujang (spicy red pepper paste) or a rich, homemade soy sauce, according to your preference.
