Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • makchang, appropriate amount
  • 2 packs of crackers
  • 1–2 sheets gamtae
  • small amount of perilla oil
  • small amount of water
  • fries, appropriate amount
  • 175g pizza sauce
  • 175g water
  • carb-buldak sauce, to taste
  • a pinch of pepper
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tablespoons soy-marinated crab brine
  • soy-marinated crab body meat, appropriate amount
  • olive oil, appropriate amount

Recipe 🍳

  1. Chop 3 pieces of makchang finely for the dough, and crush 2 packs of crackers in a plastic bag until fine.
  2. In a blender, grind the crushed crackers and torn gamtae together into a powder.
  3. In a bowl, combine the ground powder, chopped makchang, perilla oil, and a small amount of water, then knead until it forms a dough.
  4. Press the dough evenly into a tart pan, then bake in an air fryer at 200°C for 10 minutes to make the tart shell.
  5. Cut the makchang for the stew and the fries (heated in the air fryer) into bite-sized pieces, then add to a frying pan.
  6. To the pan, add 175g pizza sauce and 175g water, along with pepper and carb-buldak sauce to taste. Simmer over low heat until thickened to make the makchang stew.
  7. In a cup, combine egg white, 3 tablespoons of soy-marinated crab brine, and the crab body meat. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
  8. Gradually add olive oil while blending until a mayonnaise texture forms, then season with pepper to complete the soy-marinated crab mayonnaise.
  9. Fill the baked tart shell generously with the makchang stew, then top with the soy-marinated crab mayonnaise for plating.
  1. Mix crushed crackers, gamtae, makchang, and perilla oil into a dough, then press into a tart mold and bake in an air fryer.
  2. Simmer makchang and fries with pizza sauce, buldak sauce, and water over low heat to make the stew.
  3. Blend egg white, soy-marinated crab meat and brine, and olive oil to make mayonnaise, then serve together with the tart.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When kneading the tart dough, add water gradually, little by little, to control the consistency without making it too wet.
  • When making the mayonnaise, add olive oil in small portions while blending to prevent separation; adding it all at once can cause the oil to not emulsify.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, increase the amount of buldak sauce when simmering the makchang stew to suit your taste.
