Spicy Fish Stew Ingredients- 1 whole fish (choose your favorite kind)
- 2 potatoes (medium-sized)
- 4 Korean green chili peppers (also known as ‘kkwari gochu’)
- 3 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon cooking wine (mirin or rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (anchovy or sand lance)
- 1 cube concentrated broth (or kelp broth)
- 3 cups water (approx. 600ml)
- A little minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into flat rounds, about 0.5cm thick. Trim the stems off the Korean green chili peppers and slice them into 1-2cm pieces. Clean and cut the fish into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a pot, add the sliced potatoes, 3 cups of water, and 1 cube of concentrated broth.
Step 3
Add the prepared fish to the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Let it simmer until the fish is cooked through.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are halfway cooked, add the gochugaru, cooking wine, and fish sauce. Stir well and continue to simmer. Let it cook until the broth becomes clear and develops a spicy flavor.
Step 5
Finally, add the minced garlic and the sliced Korean green chili peppers, and simmer for another short while. The chili peppers will add a pleasant crisp texture, and the garlic will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 6
If the stew has become too thick, add another 1/2 cup of water (approx. 100ml) to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce or salt if needed.
Step 7
Once all the ingredients are well combined and the aroma is enticing, turn off the heat and serve. Enjoy this delicious stew with a warm bowl of rice!
