So we figured this would be an ideal choice for this week's recipe. The recipe today is Spicy Mackerel Fish Stew (고등어 조림) , originally featured on Aeri's Kitchen , this recipe has found its way around the world and is now featured here. A good blend of many Korean flavors, this is a perfect way to use mackerel. As a bonus this recipe comes with a video. Click below to find the recipe and watch the video.

Since today's recipes are quick and simple we decided to double dip and give you two recipes. The first recipe is a staple of Japanese cooking and is the base for many if not most soups in Japan: Dashi . Dashi is basically a simple stock made from Kombu kelp and Katsuobushi more commonly know as Bonito. Our second recipe this week makes use of the dashi from the first recipe.
