Cooking tips 💡
- To prevent the sautéed vegetables and boiled glass noodles from becoming mushy, it's best to spread them out to cool before mixing.
- The salty and rich umami of the yellow corvina harmonizes perfectly with the spicy gochujang sauce, creating a delicious balance without needing soy sauce.
