Kim Dae-seok's Small Anchovy Stir-Fry

A small anchovy stir-fry with a crispy texture that stays crunchy even after cooling, using sautéed minced onion oil and sugar coating instead of soy sauce or corn syrup

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding corn syrup to anchovy stir-fry causes the pieces to harden like crackers or clump together when cooled. Using sugar instead prevents this issue.
  • The final 1/2 tablespoon of sugar sprinkled at the end coats the surface of the anchovies, keeping them soft and preventing them from sticking together even after cooling, preserving their crisp texture.
  • Since anchovies already contain sufficient salt, adding soy sauce will make the dish overly salty. Omitting it results in a clean, light, and refreshing flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a crispy anchovy stir-fry that doesn’t harden or become soggy even after being stored in the fridge.
  • Beginners who often struggle with overly salty anchovy dishes or fail to control corn syrup, resulting in clumped masses.
  • Parents looking to make a light, nut-rich side dish with plenty of almonds and walnuts for children.
