Cooking tips

  • Avoid slicing onions too thinly, as they will lose their texture during cooking; keeping them thick ensures a satisfying bite.
  • Never pour soy sauce directly onto the onions—instead, heat it directly on the hot pan surface to eliminate raw odors and develop a rich, smoky flavor.
  • Do not exceed the recommended amount of jeotgal (1 teaspoon), as too much can overpower the dish with excessive saltiness and strong aroma; the right amount brings a subtle, savory depth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a simple onion stir-fry in a more distinctive and refined way.
  • Home cooks looking to use up leftover jeotgal stored in their fridge.
  • People aiming to quickly create a high-quality side dish using minimal, cost-effective ingredients.
