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

Korean haddock soup is one of my favorite soups. I learned to make it from my mom. When I moved to America, I missed my mom’s soup badly. I didn’t know what kind of fish to buy for this soup. One day, I found some frozen haddock at Walmart and tried this soup with it. It was almost the same taste as the fish used in my mom’s soup, so I was very happy to find it. Since that time, I often buy haddock and make this soup. I’m glad to share this recipe with you. Thanks!

Fried Seasoned Cuttlefish (오징어채 볶음) is a Korean side dish that you can make easily and it keeps longer than other side dishes. This is also another good side dish for a lunch box for kids. Like other Korean side dishes, you serve this with rice, soup, and other side dishes for a Korean meal. If you like spicy food and seafood, I highly recommend that you to try this recipe.
