Instructions
To prepare dried shiitake mushrooms, soak them in cold water for at least 6 hours. Then, scrub them thoroughly with salt water and rinse them several times.
Cut the sea squirts into bite-sized pieces. Briefly blanch them in boiling water with salt, then rinse under cold water. Thoroughly drain the excess water.
Add dried codfish, kelp (dashima), and green onion leaves to a pot of water and simmer to create about 2 cups of broth.
Marinate the prepared king mackerel fillets with 1 tablespoon of *guk-ganjang* (soup soy sauce) and 1 tablespoon of *jin-ganjang* (light soy sauce), and let it sit for a while.
The peppers are deseeded and finely chopped and prepared.
In a pan, add perilla oil, minced garlic, and the pre-seasoned cucumber strips, and stir-fry lightly.
In the broth, thoroughly dissolve the finely ground sesame seeds (without forming clumps) and add them to the stir-fried bellflowers.
Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until the sesame juice thickens and the flavor is absorbed by the vegetables.
Finely chopped green chili peppers and red chili peppers are added, along with one tablespoon of perilla powder, and then the Korean radish is mixed in.
