Cooking tips 💡

• Remove the internal organs from dried anchovies and microwave them for 20 seconds to eliminate fishy odor and bitterness.
• Mix a small amount of brown sugar (or granulated sugar) into the fermented kimchi before use to effectively reduce its sharpness and strong smell.
• Do not add fish cake at the beginning of cooking, as it will over-expand and lose texture—add it midway through for best results.
