Recipe

Rinse the garlic under running water and slice it thinly into strips, about two or three times.
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin strips similar in size to the garlic to allow the aroma to fully infuse.
Prepare a stainless steel bowl or seasoning container and fill it completely with 1 cup of cooking oil.
Add the sliced garlic and ginger to the prepared oil.
Finally, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to enhance the rich flavor, and gently mix to complete the oil.
Place the entire oil container on one corner of the frying pan so that the oil stays warm throughout cooking.
Once the pan heats up, pour the warmed special oil into the pan and fry the jeollae, replenishing with warm oil as needed during the process.

Slice garlic and ginger thinly into strips.
In a stainless steel bowl, layer in cooking oil, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, then mix well.
Place the oil container on a corner of the frying pan to keep it warm while frying the jeollae.

Cooking tips

Remove garlic and ginger from the oil before they turn brown, as this prevents bitterness.
Use only a small amount of sesame oil for aroma and avoid prolonged high-heat exposure.
Adding cold oil during cooking lowers the pan temperature, causing jeollae to absorb too much oil; always replenish with oil that has been warmed on the pan to maintain crispiness.

Recommended for

Those who want to minimize the greasy smell and richness in their home during jeollae season.
Those who want to make jeollae with a richer, more aromatic flavor from garlic and ginger.
