Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings
- Small dried anchovies 1 cup
- Nuts, as needed
- Cooking oil 2 tablespoons
- Mirin 1 tablespoon
- Sugar 1 tablespoon
- Minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- In a pan with cooking oil, add the small anchovies and stir-fry over medium-low heat until they are thoroughly dried out and no longer fishy. Set aside in a bowl.
- Lightly clean the used pan, then add cooking oil, mirin, sugar, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil, letting it bubble to create a syrup.
- When the syrup turns white and bubbly, reduce the heat to low or turn it off. Add the pre-stir-fried anchovies and prepared nuts.
- Using a spatula, quickly toss everything together until the seasoning syrup coats evenly, and stir-fry lightly once more.
- Thoroughly stir-fried, spread the mixture as thin as possible on a wide platter to cool, preventing it from clumping as the syrup hardens.
- Stir-fry the small anchovies in a pan until moisture is removed, then set aside.
- In the same pan, heat cooking oil, mirin, sugar, and garlic to make a syrup.
- Add the anchovies and nuts to the syrup, toss quickly, then spread out to cool.
Cooking tips 💡
- After finishing, if the stir-fry is left in a lump, it will harden into a solid mass. Be sure to spread it out thinly and let it dry completely.
- The anchovies themselves have a basic saltiness, so you don't need to add extra salt or soy sauce for a savory taste.
