Kim Dae-seok's Stir-Fried Jiri Anchovies

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid adding syrup—otherwise the anchovies will harden and stick together as they cool.
• Do not rush the cooking process; allow the green onion and garlic to become slightly golden over low heat for deeper flavor.
• The raw sugar added at the end melts slightly from residual heat, coating the anchovies and preventing sticking while creating a satisfyingly crisp texture.
• Never leave the dish in the pan after cooking—it will become soggy. Always spread it out on a wide plate to cool completely before mixing in sesame seeds and storing.
