A Must-Try for Solo Living! Super Easy Canned Mackerel Kimchi Stew Ready in 10 Minutes
When you’re busy and craving a delicious meal, this super simple canned mackerel kimchi stew is your go-to! Using canned mackerel, which has more flesh than saury, you can achieve a deep, rich flavor. This magical recipe comes together in a snap with just kimchi. Let’s get started!
Main Ingredients
- 500g well-fermented kimchi
- 1 can (340g) canned mackerel
- 2.5 stalks green onions
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the green onions. When you’re in a hurry, roughly chopping them into large pieces is perfectly fine. Chop them coarsely and set aside in a bowl.
Step 2
Now, add the kimchi to the pot. Including about a ladleful of kimchi juice will add even more depth of flavor.
Step 3
Open the can of mackerel and have it ready. Including all the oil from the can will significantly enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Place the canned mackerel on top of the kimchi. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of gochugaru evenly over the mackerel. This step allows the seasoning to meld into the fish.
Step 5
Cover with a lid and start cooking over medium-high heat. Wait until you hear the stew bubbling vigorously.
Step 6
Once the stew begins to reduce and thicken slightly, add the pre-chopped green onions generously.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of gochugaru over the green onions. Cover again with the lid. Now, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, as if letting it steam. This allows the ingredients to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 8
Here’s a look at the delicious kimchi stew as it simmers. Just hearing the bubbling sound makes your mouth water, doesn’t it?
Step 9
Transfer the finished canned mackerel kimchi stew to a serving dish. It’s not overly reduced, so it remains nicely moist. You’ll finish a bowl of rice in no time!
