Cooking tips

Marinating the potato for 20 minutes in water with salt and starch syrup prevents it from breaking apart during stir-frying and gives it an evenly seasoned, chewy texture.
Microwaving the small dried anchovies for 30 seconds reduces fishiness without needing to pan-fry them separately.
Leave small kkwarigochu whole and cut only large ones in half so they cook at a similar rate in the same pan.
Adding the small dried anchovies after the seasoning is cooked and tossing briefly helps keep them crispy.
