Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 2 servings Glass Noodles
  • 1-2 Yellow Corvina
  • 1/4 Carrot
  • 1/2 Onion
  • A little Scallion (or white part of green onion)
  • 1 handful Enoki Mushrooms
  • Cooking Oil, as needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 2-3 tbsp Spicy Gochujang (or gochujang sauce)
  • A little Sesame Seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Julienne the carrot, onion, and scallion. Tear the enoki mushrooms into large pieces.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a pan. Sauté the vegetables in order of firmness: carrot, scallion, onion, and enoki mushrooms. Spread them on a large tray to cool and season lightly with salt.
  3. Boil the soaked glass noodles in boiling water for 6 minutes. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Heat cooking oil in a pan and pan-fry the yellow corvina until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  5. Let the fried yellow corvina cool slightly, then carefully remove the head, bones, and small bones, separating the flesh.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the boiled glass noodles, sautéed vegetables, and spicy gochujang. Mix well until the sauce is evenly distributed.
  7. Finally, add sesame oil and sesame seeds and mix again. Transfer to a serving plate, top with the flaked yellow corvina and chopped scallions, and serve.

  4. Combine glass noodles, vegetables, and spicy gochujang in a bowl and mix well.

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.
