Cooking tips

  • Never mix the seaweed and chogpa together at the same time—doing so causes the seaweed to absorb too much sauce and clump. Always toss the chogpa in the sauce first before adding the seaweed.
  • Avoid pressing or rubbing the chogpa hard, as this releases sticky juice that can make the dish taste muddy. Instead, gently massage the ingredients with your fingertips.
  • If you have old or slightly soggy seaweed with a strong smell, dry-toast it in a pan until crisp—it’s perfect for this recipe.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to efficiently use up leftover chogpa and slightly dried seaweed.
  • People who want to enjoy the delicate sweetness of chogpa paired with the deep, savory umami of anchovy sauce.
  • Anyone seeking a reliable, non-overpowering side dish that becomes a go-to staple for every meal throughout the week.
