A spicy-sweet side dish made by roasting jipjo like frying in oil to caramelize it, then simmering it in a smooth gochujang and soy sauce glaze.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Jipjo contains natural sugars and can burn instantly, so turn off the heat at the golden moment—just as it starts to brown—to avoid hardness or bitterness.
  • Adding malt syrup too early makes the dish prone to hardening after cooking. Always mix it in with residual heat after turning off the flame for lasting softness.
  • For children’s meals, you may omit gochugaru when preparing the seasoning for a milder version.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a deeper flavor profile in dried seafood side dishes compared to sautéed vegetables.
  • Parents looking to serve both nutritious kid-friendly sides and rich, savory adult snacks in one dish.
  • Anyone curious about the secret to keeping braised dishes moist and soft without hardening in the fridge.
