Cooking tips

  • When shaping the polpette dough, be sure to firmly press out the air to prevent them from breaking apart while frying.
  • Using Korean anchovy sauce instead of traditional Italian anchovies makes the dish accessible while achieving deep umami and rich flavor.
  • After adding the eggs, carefully control the heat and cooking time so the yolks remain runny and creamy, not fully cooked.
  • Lightly toasted plain bread like baguette or sandwich bread pairs harmoniously with the sauce and soft-boiled eggs.
