Doenjang Milkfish Stew: A Korean Inspired Filipino Dish

Spread the love
Doenjang Milkfish Stew

Doenjang Milkfish Stew is another recipe I thought of while I’m about to cook the fish. My dad bought a whole milkfish from the fish vendor in our village last weekend. Initially, we are planning to grill it, however, knowing my dad he wants something with soup and vegetables. The thing is, we don’t have ingredients for milkfish sinigang. Then I remembered I bought several months ago a tub of doenjang which I only used a tablespoon.

An idea struck me. Why not make a doenjang milkfish stew. I searched for doenjang soups and mostly it’s either with vegetables or meat. However, the procedure seems pretty easy. So I replaced the pork meat with milkfish and the vegetables with the vegetables we have in our fridge.

The result is delicious. It’s actually my first time cooking using doenjang to flavor my dish. It taste like the Filipino tausi or black beans. However, the taste is much flavorful, a bit spicy and tangy. This dish is best paired with hot steamed rice or you can simply enjoy it as is.

Tips

For this Doenjang Milkfish Stew I decided to fried the milkfish before adding to the stew. I find it much more flavorful and also helps the fish from disintegrating during cooking. However, if you feel lazy doing it you can opt not to fry it.

For this recipe, I simply used the vegetables we have in our fridge. However, you can add any vegetables you can think of. Another thing, I bet tofu would be a delicious addition to this dish. Also, I used rice water instead of regular water. Simply filter your rice wash with a strainer and that’s it. However, you can also simply use plain water.
