GODEUNGEO JORIM (KOREAN BRAISED MACKEREL WITH RADISH)

Godeungeo Jorim (Korean Braised Mackerel with Radish) image

Godeungeo (mackerel) has a very special place in my heart, having eaten it every which way imaginable - pan-fried, grilled, braised, canned, and smoked during my days in Seoul. Serve with rice and other side dishes.

Ingredients

1 red chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 green chile pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons cooking wine
2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chile paste)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 cups water
1 daikon radish, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
2 whole mackerel - gutted, cleaned, and cut into 3-inch pieces
2 green onions, sliced on the bias into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

Combine red chile pepper, green chile pepper, cooking wine, gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl; mix well to make sauce.
Place water and daikon radish in a large pot. Bring to a boil; cook until radish is tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir mackerel pieces into the pot. Pour sauce over the mackerel. Cook over high heat, occasionally spooning sauce over mackerel but not stirring the mixture, until cooking liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
Garnish mackerel with green onions.
