Cooking tips 💡

• Pre-marinating the fresh oysters and radish in fermented anchovy sauce uses osmosis to lock in moisture, preventing the dish from becoming watery over time and keeping the texture springy.
• This sauce is sweet, sour, and deeply savory, making it a versatile base for various seasoned dishes like cucumber muchim or whelk muchim.
• Sesame oil should be added just before tossing or at the final stage, as mixing it into the sauce in large quantities beforehand will cause its characteristic nutty aroma to dissipate.
