The fish looks very soft and juicy with delicious broth!
Long time watcher and Maangchi recipe maker. I had some cod in the freezer and naturally came to your YouTube page to find a recipe to use it in. I found this one and just made it for lunch. It was delicious!! It was almost like a spicy lobster. I had a side of kimchi (your easy kimchi recipe) with it and sprinkled some sesame seeds on all of it. I couldn’t stop eating it! I’m sure I looked like an alligator to anyone passing by.
I modify a lot of your recipes for carbohydrates as I have to eat very low sugar/carb, but they always turn out deliciously. Thank you so much for your content, Maangchi!!! You’ve converted a midwestern US, steak and potatoes eater into appreciating Korean cuisine!
It’s so fun reading your message here! I feel your passion for delicious cooking. “I’m sure I looked like an alligator to anyone passing by.” haha!
“I modify a lot of your recipes for carbohydrates as I have to eat very low sugar/carb..” Wonderful!
Thank you very much for this recipe! My Korean husband LOVED it and asked for it again. Very enjoyable! I was gifted your cookbook by my best friend and it’s been fun making recipes with my kids and family! Thank you :)

I’m so happy to hear that your husband loved this dish! Continued good luck with your Korean cooking!
Hi Maangchi,
This looks so delicious! I am having trouble finding frozen cod filets nearby. Are there other types of fish that you think would be a good substitute with a similar flavor?
Thanks!
Jake
Hi Jake,
You can use any white flesh fish such as snapper, halibut, flounder, and pollock.
Omg this was so yummy and super easy to make. What a great way to cook fish. My partner and I devoured it. Had it with rice and young radish kimchi.
Just ordered your cookbook let the Korean Journey begin …..

Yes, your simple meal with rice, green vegetable, and the spicy cod fillets (daegusal-jorim) on the plate looks perfectly healthy and delicious! I’m motivated to make this tonight!
I must say that this dish is very delicious and is a great alternative to my dad’s fried fish. His fish gets old after awhile, ha ha!
Curious question, have you or any of your famed chefs tried using ginger for this recipe? If so, what is the proper way to incorporate it?
I’m half Chinese so to me, a savory East Asian dish such as daegusal-jorim isn’t complete without the 3 major herbs: green onions, ginger, and garlic. :)
I did! i was missing white onions and just the garlic and green onions felt lacking, so i added some ginger (and gochujang). it went very well with the rest of the flavours and i recommend it :)
I wanted to try this, but didn’t have any codfish. So I used swordfish, and VOILA! It’s great! Other than the fish, I pretty much followed the recipe as is. This is not bland at all, but my gochugaru is pretty spicy.

Bravo! It looks spicy, juicy, and very flavorful! You put it on top of a layer of rice and made your own 1 plate meal! So cool!
I made this dish according to your method, but the taste is very weak, I don’t know if I added less soy sauce or less chili, do I need to add salt during the whole cooking process?
Great, you made this! If it’s too bland for you, add more soy sauce to your taste. Happy cooking!
I just made this and it turned out great, its not as pretty as yours so I’m too embarrassed to post a picture, but it tastes delicious. I always look forward to your recipes (especially the spicy ones). Because of you I became interested in cooking and hopefully one day my food will look as good as yours.
Yay, I’m very happy to hear that your daegusal-jorim turned out very delicious! Don’t worry much about what it looks like. As long as it is delicious, great!
