Refreshing and spicy croaker hot pot

Jogi Maeuntang (Croaker Stew) is a dish bursting with traditional Korean flavors. Fresh seafood and vegetables are exquisitely combined, creating a soup where spiciness and umami harmonize, offering a moment of heartwarming dining. The delicate flavor of the fish and the perfect balance with the spicy soup are particularly appealing. The spiciness stimulates the appetite and has a warming effect on the body. From home cooking to popular street food, it encapsulates Korean food culture.

My mother gave me two croakers for Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), so today it's Jogi Maeuntang (Croaker Stew).



1. Prepare the ingredients. Remove the entrails from the croakers and cut them into four pieces. Cut the radish, zucchini, onion, and chili peppers into easy-to-eat pieces.



2. Add radish and soy sauce, then a spoonful of Dashida, and bring to a boil.



3. Once the chili powder dissolves, add the croaker, zucchini, onion, and mirin and bring to a further boil. When it's simmering, add green onions, grated garlic, and ginger.
Finally, season with salt and sprinkle with pepper.



4. Jogi Maeuntang is complete. If desired, you can add perilla leaves or garland chrysanthemum for extra deliciousness.



5. A glass of soju with spicy soup... Irresistible. Chamisul is in the background of the photo.
