Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Score the flesh side of the eel and marinate it in milk and pepper to remove the fishy smell.
  2. Cut the burdock root, ginseng, and red chili pepper into thin strips and soak them in cold water.
  3. Cut the Korean water dropwort and enoki mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Cut the onion and green chili pepper into thin strips.
  5. Steam the eel in a steamer.
  6. Toss all the vegetables with the salad sauce to make a salad, and serve it with the eel.
💡 TipBy choosing fragrant vegetables for the side, the eel can be enjoyed without the soy-heavy eel sauce.
