Yoon Yi-ryeon's Stir-fried Dried Shrimp and Anchovies

A savory side dish made by stir-frying dried shrimp and small anchovies together in fragrant garlic oil to double the umami, then adding starch syrup off the heat to maximize crispiness.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Cooking tips

  • If you add starch syrup while the heat is still on and continue to reduce it, the dish will harden like a candy once cooled. Be sure to turn off the heat and mix with residual heat to keep it soft and crispy.
  • If the shrimp are on the larger side, they can hurt your mouth when eating, so it's better to trim the legs and tails even if it's a bit tedious.
  • Before stir-frying, sift the dried seafood thoroughly to remove fine powder; this prevents the seasoning from clumping messily and ensures a clean finish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the rich savory flavors of two types of dried seafood—anchovies and dried shrimp—at the same time.
  • Those whose stir-fried side dishes always harden into a solid lump after cooling.
  • Those who want a reliable pantry side dish that stays crispy without becoming soggy over time.
