Reserve the liquid from the canned golbangi separately, and cut the golbangi into bite-sized pieces.
Soak the dried anchovy strips briefly in the reserved golbangi broth until soft, then gently squeeze out excess moisture.
Cut the green onion slices into convenient lengths using scissors.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, vinegar, red pepper powder, seasoned garlic, and salt in the specified amounts, mixing well to create the dressing.
Add the chopped golbangi and soaked dried anchovy strips to the dressing, tossing gently to ensure even coating.
Just before serving or when guests arrive, add the prepared green onion slices and lightly toss just enough to mix—avoid over-stirring so the onions retain their crisp texture.
Soak the dried anchovy strips in the reserved golbangi broth and squeeze dry; cut the golbangi into halves.
Mix sugar, vinegar, red pepper powder, garlic, and salt in a bowl to make the dressing, then toss with the golbangi and soaked anchovy strips.
Add the green onion slices just before serving and gently toss lightly to preserve their crispness.
Cooking tips 💡
Avoid adding the green onion slices too early or stirring vigorously, as this will cause them to lose their crisp texture quickly.
Soaking the dried anchovy strips in the golbangi broth infuses them with the seafood’s rich umami, greatly enhancing the overall depth of flavor.
For a stronger spicy and tangy kick, adjust to taste by adding more seasoned garlic or vinegar.
