By AprilPublished Are you craving a delicious and comforting Korean dish? Look no further than Godeungeo Jorim, a tantalizing braised mackerel with radish that will leave your taste buds tingling with delight.
In a small bowl, combine the red chile pepper, green chile pepper, cooking wine, gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Mix well to create the sauce.
In a large pot, add water and daikon radish. Bring it to a boil and cook until the radish becomes tender, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
Stir the mackerel pieces into the pot. Pour the sauce over the mackerel. Cook over high heat, occasionally spooning the sauce over the mackerel without stirring the mixture. Continue cooking until the cooking liquid reduces by half, approximately 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer, partially covered, until the sauce thickens, which usually takes around 15 minutes.
Garnish the mackerel with green onions.
If desired, you can substitute mirin (Japanese rice wine) for the cooking wine.
