I really wanted to try this recipe but couldn’t find dried pollock, even at the little Korean grocery store I use to go shopping, a little little shop but with many many ingredients I can’t find in other stores (even vegetables like minari sometimes).
Anyway, recently I was happy to find the desired yellow flat fish and of course I bought it to make bugeoguk.
Very good !
Have a cool photo you want to share?
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
