Instructions
- Cut the radish into thin rounds, the onion into wedges and the cabbage into pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
- In a pot, bring the water to the boil with the radish, onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 8 minutes.
- Add the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce and vinegar, then stir until dissolved.
- Lay in the fish chunks and the cabbage, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes, without stirring so the flesh doesn't break.

- Serve very hot in bowls, with white rice on the side.
