This Man's Cook Soft and Tender Dried Anchovy Stir-Fry

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Do not soak the anchovies in water for too long, as their natural umami flavor will be lost; limit rinsing to about 20 seconds to remove only surface salt.
• Using jujube syrup instead of corn syrup or sugar keeps the dish moist and prevents it from becoming overly hard or sticky over time, delivering a subtle, deep sweetness.
• Avoid prolonged heating of soy sauce on high heat, as it can quickly burn and develop a bitter taste; turn off the heat as soon as it starts boiling, then mix in the jujube syrup.
