About this dish

Skate flesh is threaded with soft cartilage, which gives it a pleasant chew.

It braises in a gochugaru and soy liquid over heat low enough that the surface barely moves, almost steaming.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Rinse 900g skate under running water, cut it into 4cm to 5cm pieces, and drain thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Slice 250 g Korean radish into 1.5 cm pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the pot.

    Place the skate on top in a single layer as much as possible so the pieces cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp cooking wine, and 300 ml water until the chili is evenly dispersed. Pour the sauce around and over the skate.

  4. 4

    Set the pot over medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes.

    When the liquid bubbles around the edges and the radish starts turning slightly translucent, reduce the heat to medium-low.

  5. 5

    Cover the pot and braise gently for about 20 minutes.

    Keep the liquid moving in small, steady bubbles instead of a hard boil, because vigorous heat can break the skate flesh apart.

  6. 6

    During cooking, spoon the sauce over the skate 2-3 times so the seasoning reaches the top pieces.

    Add 1 diagonally sliced green onion, cook 3 more minutes, then serve when its aroma rises.

Tips

Drain the skate thoroughly so surface water does not dilute the seasoning.
Avoid vigorous boiling to keep the flesh intact.
