Ingredients:

• 5 yellow croaker fish, cleaned and gutted
• 1 medium-sized carrot, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
• 1 medium-sized onion, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions:

1. Prep the fish: Clean and gut the yellow croaker fish.
2. Sauté the fish: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
3. Add vegetables and seasonings: Add the carrot, onion, green onion, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Tips:

• Other fish: You can use other white fish, such as cod or snapper, as a substitute for yellow croaker.
• Spice level: Adjust the amount of gochugaru to your desired spice level.
• Flavor enhancer: For a more complex flavor, add a tablespoon of mirin (Japanese rice wine) to the sauce.
• Garnish: Serve with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
