Recipe

Soak undeokgwi in cold water to remove saltiness, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Slice onion and carrot thinly.
In a bowl, mix sugar 1/4 tablespoon, whole sesame seeds 1 tablespoon, a pinch of seasoning salt, sesame oil 1 tablespoon, and mirin 2 tablespoons to make the seasoning sauce.
Heat vegetable oil 2 tablespoons in a pan, add minced garlic 1 tablespoon, and sauté until golden to create garlic oil.
Once the garlic aroma rises, add the sliced carrots and onions and stir-fry together.
When vegetables soften, add the prepared undeokgwi and stir-fry evenly.
Finally, pour in the pre-made seasoning sauce and quickly stir-fry until all ingredients are well-coated and seasoned.

Cut undeokgwi and vegetables into appropriate sizes and prepare the seasoning sauce.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan, then sauté garlic, followed by carrots and onions in order.
Add undeokgwi and seasoning sauce, stir-fry once more to finish.

Cooking tips

Do not completely remove the saltiness from undeokgwi—taste it lightly and leave a bit for balanced seasoning.
Make sure to fully develop the garlic oil before adding other ingredients to effectively eliminate the characteristic fishy smell of undeokgwi.
