Cooking tips

  • If chili oil is unavailable, substitute with regular vegetable oil, but using chili oil enhances the rich, spicy flavor significantly.
  • After adding the sauce, cook over high heat to quickly evaporate moisture and allow the flavors to fully penetrate—this prevents the dish from becoming soggy.
  • Do not add maltose at the beginning, as heating it too early can cause it to harden; always add it after turning off the heat and use residual warmth to blend smoothly for a glossy finish.

Recommended for

  • Fans of the sharp kick of perilla peppers combined with the sweet-salty balance of soy-based seasoning.
