Korean-Style Braised Mackerel with Gochugaru (Godeungeo Jorim)
A single portion of Korean cooking, ready in 23 minutes with 8 minutes of prep. Written for one, so there is nothing to halve and nothing to waste. It brings some heat.
Method
- 1
Layer the sliced daikon (or potato) in the base of a small pan.
- 2
Mix the soy sauce, gochugaru, gochujang, garlic, ginger, sugar and water together and pour half over the vegetables.
- 3
Lay the mackerel fillet on top, skin-side up, and pour over the remaining sauce.
- 4
Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 10–12 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the fish is cooked through, spooning sauce over occasionally.
- 5
Season to taste, then scatter with spring onion and serve with rice.
