STEP 1/9
I was going to grill it, but I changed it to braised it, and in the case of roasting, it is much better to remove the head and tail and grill it whole. If you remove the head, tail, and intestines of saury and put a cut on only one side, it is good for the seasoning to soak well. In the case of braised foods as well as grilled ones, it's good to season them with a little bit of thick salt.
STEP 2/9
I cut it in half to make it easy to eat.
STEP 3/9
I cut the radish in half a month. If it's too thick, boil it once and put it in boiling water to save time. You may add potatoes together. Slice the onions thickly. Slice green onions and peppers neatly, and it's good to cut thickly so that it doesn't crush later.
STEP 4/9
It's good to make the seasoning in advance and let it ripen for a while. If you have a lot of time, it's better to ripen it for more than half a day. It is made according to the recipe above, and Cheongyang red pepper powder is mixed with red pepper powder to create a spicy taste, and if you don't like the spicy taste, you can skip it or reduce the amount. Honda City goes in here, and Honda City can be said to be a kind of Japanese seasoning that uses katsuobushi as its main ingredient to enhance its flavor and add kelp extract, various seasonings, spices, etc. to make it taste better. You can buy it at large marts or Japanese specialty food stores. It's an ingredient that is commonly used in restaurants. You can put it in the sauce for steamed monkfish. If you don't have Honda City, you can use anchovy stock.
STEP 5/9
Place radishes and onions in a large pot and place saury on top. Add half of the sauce and add water. You can pour anchovy stock, or I added Honda City, so I poured plain water.
STEP 6/9
Boil it over high heat. You have to open the lid to remove the fishy smell. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat, close the lid, and simmer. This way, the radish cooks well over a low heat. Cook for about 20 minutes, then open the lid and cook.
STEP 7/9
Add refined rice wine to remove the fishy smell. You can put it in when you make the sauce. If you cook alcohol, the alcohol content flies away, so you can relax if you can't drink alcohol.
STEP 8/9
Ginger juice or ginger powder is good for removing fishy smell in fish and meat dishes. Add a little bit of pepper. I grind the whole pepper with a pepper grinder, and I like it because it has a stronger scent than regular pepper powder.
STEP 9/9
It's done if you boil it for about 10 more minutes, and the point is to boil the soup to itself. Add all the leftover sauce and cook it. Add green onions and peppers and boil them for another 5 minutes to complete.
Cheeks are nutritious and inexpensive, so they are loved by ordinary people. In Pohang, gwamegi, which is made by drying saury in winter, is famous, and it is used in various ways such as salting and canned food. It is rich in protein and vitamin B, and like other blue-backed fish, it has a lot of DHA, which is better for growing children. In particular, saury caught in October and November is said to taste good because it contains 20% of the fat in the body. It is cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilled, fried, boiled, and stew, and cooking without peeling is less nutritious. The whole body is bright and the tail is yellow, which is fresh saury. Since saury is an acidic food, it goes well with alkaline foods such as perilla leaves, and it is good for preventing anemia and adult diseases.
