Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Frying anchovies and peanuts in oil instead of dry-sautéing removes their natural fishy smell completely and delivers intense nuttiness.
  • Since anchovies are naturally salty, no additional soy sauce or salt is needed—balance the saltiness with the aroma of doubanjiang and the sweetness of sugar.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a unique Chinese-style side dish instead of regular anchovy stir-fry.
  • Those who prefer a crunchy, snack-like texture with a spicy, satisfying anchovy dish that’s never soggy.
