Appropriate amount of flour (or pancake/tempura mix)

1 handful Korean green peppers

Appropriate amount of soy sauce mixture (soy sauce, sugar, mirin, etc.)

Appropriate amount of cooking oil

A little toasted sesame seeds

Recipe

Completely drain the liquid from the canned saury to remove the fishy smell the first time.
Evenly coat the drained saury with flour, pancake mix, or tempura mix.
Grease a pan with cooking oil, place the flour-coated saury, and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Cook the saury, flipping it over, until done before the flour mixes with the oil and burns black, then set aside.
In a simmering pan, combine the soy sauce mixture (soy sauce, sugar, etc.) and the washed Korean green peppers, then turn on the heat.
If Korean green peppers are unavailable, they can be substituted with green chili peppers or Cheongyang peppers. To reduce spiciness, remove the white seeds inside the peppers before use.
Once the sauce boils, add the pan-fried saury and simmer until the sauce becomes thick and sticky.
When the sauce is evenly absorbed, arrange the saury and peppers on a plate, drizzle the remaining soy sauce from the pan over the top, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.

Drain the saury, coat with flour, and pan-fry until crispy.
In a pan, boil the soy sauce mixture and Korean green peppers, then add the fried saury.
Simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky, then drizzle the sauce over and finish.

Cooking tips

Discarding the canned liquid is a key step to reduce the fishy smell.
Coating with flour and frying prevents oil splattering due to the saury's moisture and gives a crispy texture.
Since the saury is already fully cooked, you can finish cooking once the sauce thickens without worrying about cooking the inside.
The remaining simmering sauce is a key seasoning that's great for mixing with rice, so don't discard it; drizzle it all over.
