kanaari fish sauce or dried anchovy fish sauce 1 tablespoon
corn syrup 5 tablespoons
toasted sesame seeds 2 tablespoons
Recipe 🍳
Trim the ends of the pickled chilies slightly with scissors to release the accumulated brine inside.
Rinse the prepared chilies thoroughly, then soak them in plenty of water, pressing down with a heavy plate for 1–2 hours to draw out excess salt.
Check the salt level every hour by tasting a small piece to ensure it reaches your desired level of salinity.
Remove the chilies once the saltiness is balanced, then squeeze them firmly by hand to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, combine gochujang, red pepper powder, minced garlic, plum syrup, fish sauce, corn syrup, and toasted sesame seeds according to the specified amounts, mixing well to form the dressing.
Add the squeezed chilies to the dressing and gently toss until evenly coated.
Trim the ends of the pickled chilies and soak them in water for 1–2 hours to adjust saltiness.
Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the chilies, then prepare the dressing with the required ingredients.
Mix the chilies into the dressing until evenly coated.
Cooking tips 💡
Trimming the ends allows water to circulate inside the chilies, significantly speeding up the salt removal process.
Avoid preparing large quantities at once, as moisture can develop over time and dilute the flavor—best to make only 2–3 servings at a time.
This dressing works wonderfully with other pickled vegetables like garlic pickles or other fermented side dishes.
