Step 1

Step 2
Rinse the salted mackerel thoroughly under running rice water. This step helps remove any fishy odors and ensures a cleaner taste. Trim off the fins and tail for easier handling, and remove the head.
Step 3
Line the bottom of a pot with the rehydrated dried radish greens. Place the prepared salted mackerel on top. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the versatile anchovy paste evenly over the mackerel and radish greens, ensuring good flavor distribution. Once all the seasonings are added, carefully pour 1.5 cups of rice water around the edges of the pot. The rice water will help the ingredients braise without sticking or drying out.
Step 4
Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the stew is almost cooked through. Towards the end of cooking, add the chopped green onions on top for a fresh garnish. Turn off the heat and let it sit for a moment with the lid on, allowing the aroma of the green onions to meld with the dish. This step ensures the dried radish greens and mackerel are deeply infused with the savory anchovy paste, completing your delicious braised mackerel stew.
Step 5
Since salted mackerel is already seasoned, no additional salt is needed. Enjoy the flavorful braised mackerel with the tender dried radish greens!
Step 6
If you’re a big fan of fish, this mackerel dish is an absolute winner. Wrap some tender dried radish greens around a piece of the succulent mackerel, serve it with a hot bowl of rice, and you’ll find yourself devouring two bowls of rice in no time – it’s a true ‘rice thief’!
Step 7
The mackerel used in this recipe is nice and thick, offering a substantial and satisfying bite. Each mouthful is filled with the rich flavor of the mackerel and a delightful texture. It makes for a hearty and fulfilling meal.
