This dish is a spicy Korean stew using mackerel fish. The flavor of the ingredients in this stew is awesome together. If you eat this stew, you can finish your rice without any other side dishes. There is research that says the dark flesh of fish, like mackerel, is good for high blood pressure. Enjoy!

San Jeok is a Korean holiday food. We usually make this food with family and relatives one day before a holiday, and serve it the next day. The color and taste combination of this food is very good. Depending on your tastes, you can skip the crab or add different kinds of vegetables, such as mushrooms, carrots, or zucchini. If you are a vegetarian, I recommend using mushrooms instead of beef (oyster mushrooms will be the best). Use the same sauce to marinate mushrooms, cook them until they get enough bulgogi sauce flavor, and then skewer them instead of the beef.
Yield: 2½ Dozen Skewers

Curry powder is considered to be very healthy. Adding different kinds of vegetables and meat will make it even healthier. This recipe is a Korean styled curry & rice dish. When I tried Indian or other (American?) curry powder, I thought the taste was a little different from Korean curry powder. So, use Korean curry powder to get an authentic Korean taste. The Korean brand that I use is called, “Ottogi Curry Medium.” That brand comes three different kinds heat levels: hot, medium, and mild. I usually use medium for my curry rice, but depending on your tastes, you can use hot or mild. If I get the chance to try other curry powders for it, I will let you know the result, or if you try it, tell me what you think of it. I will appreciate the feedback. This curry tastes best with chicken rather than other meat, but you can skip the meat and it will still taste very good.
