Braised Cutlassfish(galchijorim) & Grilled

….The largehead hairtail is called “galchi” in Korea. It isn’t easy for me to buy good quality galchi around my house. My daughter LACEY really liked galchi when she was young in Korea. Few days ago, I bought some galchi from @wooltari_usa looking forward to high quality…Thank you for sending good quality. We ate it almost 10 years ago. My husband wanted me to make spicy braised galchi, but LACEY opted for grilled. “Can’t cook spicy braised galchi”……… Two different dishes with not enough ingredients! As parents always give everything to their child, my husband gave up without hesitation. Grilled in plump, flat pieces and spicy braised in small pieces….happy times. My husband also enjoyed the spicy braised galchi’s soup. It was a table that gave a little joy to my family with a taste of memories.
