Cooking tips
- Completely evaporating the moisture when stir-frying the salted shrimp is crucial to eliminate its fishy odor and maximize its umami flavor.
- Making a generous batch of saeu-jeot pesto at once is convenient, as it can be used as a versatile sauce for various stir-fried dishes, not just pasta.
- If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can make the pesto with regular cooking oil; the taste will still be excellent with no significant difference.
- The pesto itself is quite flavorful, so when stir-frying the pasta, adjust the seasoning by adding more pasta water or noodles if it's too salty, or a pinch of salt if it's too bland.
Recommended for
- Those who want to enjoy the deep and rich seafood umami of salted shrimp and dried shrimp in a unique pasta.
- Those looking for an original and differentiated fusion pasta recipe beyond the classic alio olio.
- Those interested in versatile sauce recipes that can be made once and used conveniently for a long time.
