Cooking tips

  • Do not discard the pickled chili brine—using it in the stir-fry maintains proper seasoning and preserves the deep, complex flavor.
  • Sautéing the onions and green onions over high heat until golden brings out their natural sweetness, which gently softens the sharp tang of the pickled chilies into a smooth, savory note.
  • Adding sesame seeds while the dish is still hot will diminish their nutty aroma; the key is to wait until the stir-fry is completely cooled before sprinkling them.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to creatively and deliciously use up old gochujang pickled chilies hiding in their fridge.
  • People looking for a bold, satisfying side dish to mix into rice when they have no appetite.
  • Anyone wanting a substantial, long-lasting side dish that can be enjoyed for a full week.
