Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Making small cuts at the ends of the gochujjim allows the marinade to penetrate inside and helps soften the spice more evenly.
  • Soaking jinmichae in water and mirin before cooking removes the fishy smell completely and gives it a tender, delicate texture.
  • When reducing moisture on high heat, avoid overcooking—leave a slight film of sauce at the bottom to keep the jinmichae moist even after cooling.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a chewy, flavorful gochujjim with a satisfying bite, as an alternative to dried anchovy dishes.
  • People who prefer soft textures and are tired of side dishes that harden quickly after preparation.
