Immediately I’d wish to introduce you to a scrumptious, braised fish dish, made with a fish known as galchi in Korean. It has a number of names in English like hartail. cutlassfish, and ribbonfish, however I like beltfish, becaue it’s a really lengthy, skinny, silvery fish, and it seems to be like a shiny belt. Tender, delicate, and fatty, it’s a very talked-about fish in Korea and we braise it, make soup with it, or just grill it. This recipe, galchi-jorim (갈치조림), is a spicy braised galchi stew, constructed from beltfish, radish, and onion.
The radish is an important ingredient! I benefit from the radish on this dish, its function is to take in all the great things from the fish, and for the fish to get all the great things from the radish. They go effectively collectively.
I used to all the time add sugar to my galchi-jorim (as I did within the galchi-jorim recipe in my first cookbook) however lately I’m chopping down on my sugar consumption so on this recipe I add extra onion. The sweetness is ideal for me, however galchi-jorim in a restaurant could also be sweeter. In case you really need it to be that candy go forward and add sugar.
Benefit from the recipe! Let me understand how yours seems!
