Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding soju when blanching garlic chives removes their sharp, pungent bite and enhances their natural sweetness.
  • Do not rinse blanched garlic chives with cold water—this preserves their sweetness; instead, let them cool naturally on a colander.
  • Coating dried pollock shreds with potato starch before frying ensures a chewy exterior and soft interior when tossed in the sauce later.
  • Cooking the sauce with joescheong creates a glossy sheen and helps the seasoning adhere well to the ingredients.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy both the crisp texture of garlic chives and the chewy mouthfeel of dried pollock shreds in one unique side dish.
  • People seeking a flavorful, glossy, spicy-sweet side dish that boosts appetite.
