it really good. I was sick and left alone.
I wonder what Mangchi would cook with the mackeral. then I found this menu.
Yummy and give me a lot of energy. I also have some perrila leaves so I wrap them like a roll. It also good with cucumber and avocado too.
Thanks you.

Loved this recipe. Never realized potatoes would go so well with mackerel. Was a very homey and comforting recipe.
This looks so good and i wanted to make it for dinner tonight, but i have a couple questions.
1) can i use cubed radish kimchi instead of the cabbage kind?
2) can this be frozen after cooking?
Thanks so much! 😺
YES you can! I would first practice with cabbage unless you want to use cubed radish kimchi right away!
Maangchi, I made this stew today for my grandmother and I, and we loved it! It’s so tasty and so simple. I’ll admit we had some reservations giving it a try, but I’m glad we did.
Your recipes are always so amazing, keep up the great work! :D
Maangchi I can’t find canned mackerel where I live. Can I use the frozen fish insted?
Delicious and satisfying!!! I made this for dinner yesterday and it turned out great! I had just purchased a dozen cans of the Sempio mackerel from Zion Market last weekend. They sell them at a dollar more per can, which is still cheaper than a can of salmon. I eat fish everyday, making sandwiches, fried fish cakes for breakfast, adding to salads, and yes, right out of the can with dipping sauce. I was so happy to find this recipe. A few years ago, I used to mix cabbage with onions, garlic, canned salmon, Sriracha chili sauce and a drizzling of sesame oil towards the end. To my dismay, the salmon always crumbled. Using mackerel (or similar fish) is the best way to go because it holds its shape well during the cooking time. The kimchi and gochujang gives it a depth of flavor that is so good, while the potato gives it just enough carb tease. Thank you so much for this recipe.
You bought a dozen cans of mackerel! Holly mackerel! LOL.
It’s really fun to read your story. “Using mackerel (or similar fish) is the best way to go because it holds its shape well during the cooking time.” I have never thought about this, yes, it makes sense!
Good luck with your Korean cooking!
Thank you! I am having the best time making your recipes and introducing all of the awesomeness that is Korean cuisine and your website to family and friends. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
Holy moly, that looks good, and it combines my favorite things: kimchi, canned mackeral and camping!
Looks great. I’m actually looking for dishes to cook for my fiancee (Korean) to surprise her. I still haven’t decided, but I think I will add this to my list of dishes to consider. Thanks for sharing!
This is looks so fabulous! And easy too. I like the potatoes- makes it more substantial. This seems an easier version of your other stewed mackerel dish with radish. I’d like to try both on a camping trip! Thanks Maangchi!!!
“Good job! I don’t want to torture you!” Hahaha Maangchi too funny! Well I like it Maangchi.
Mackerel is such a pretty fish and it’s always in all the grocery stores. Your friend is kinda bossy but at least she knows how to peel a potato good. :-P
Hey when you go camping like this do you bring cooked rice or you make it there?
This looks so delicious, Maanchi!!! And you know what? I just bought a can of saury last weekend so make this yummy soup! I’ve got some rice ready too, so this is what I’m going to make tonight!!! Can’t wait!!! Thanks for sharing such wonderful recipe!!! xoxo
Mmm. Looks good! For a second I saw “camping stew” and thought we might be getting something a la budae jjigae. But I’ll take mackerel over Spam and hot dogs any day!
