Anchovies tossed in a moist gochujang sauce flavored with a small amount of licorice-infused water

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Coating the anchovies with mirin before frying ensures even cooking, prevents greasiness, and easily eliminates fishy odor.
  • Never add anchovies directly to boiling sauce—this causes the anchovies to contract and become tough. Always use a slightly cooled sauce.
  • The small amount of licorice-infused water adds a subtle sweetness that balances the richness of gochujang and enhances overall flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a moist anchovies stir-fry that stays tender even after long-term storage in an airtight container.
  • Home cooks seeking a professional-grade depth of flavor in a classic anchovies side dish.
  • People looking to elevate their daily meals with a single, bold, spicy-sweet side dish.
