Cooking tips

  • Do not use anchovy fish sauce raw—it may have a strong fishy odor. Always add a little water and boil it first, then strain through a sieve to remove bones and skin before using.
  • Lightly scoring the ends of the chilies helps prevent excessive moisture release while allowing the seasoning to penetrate deeply and evenly.
  • Soju enhances the overall aroma and balances the flavors—use only the recommended amount to avoid overpowering the taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a fresh, crunchy alternative to daily napa cabbage kimchi.
  • People looking to boost their appetite with a rich, savory anchovy-based seasoning.
  • Individuals seeking a durable, ready-to-eat side dish that can be enjoyed for up to a month after preparation.
