Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (mulyeot)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (mulyeot)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the stir-fry anchovies. Heat a dry pan over low heat without adding any oil. Add the anchovies and stir-fry lightly for about 1-2 minutes. This step helps to remove any fishy smell from the anchovies and makes them more savory.
Step 2
While the anchovies are stir-frying, prepare the sliced almonds. Once the anchovies are lightly toasted, add the sliced almonds to the pan and continue to stir-fry together with the anchovies for another 1-2 minutes. Be careful with the heat to prevent the almonds from burning.
Step 3
This step is crucial for effectively removing the fishy odor of the anchovies and further enhancing the nutty flavor of the almonds. Once the anchovies and almonds are lightly golden brown, push them to one side of the pan.
Step 4
Now it’s time to make the seasoning sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp corn syrup, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, and 2 Tbsp soy sauce. Whisk well until evenly mixed to create the sauce.
Step 5
Pour the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the stir-fried anchovies and almonds. Keep the heat on low and stir well with a spatula for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats the anchovies and almonds evenly. Be mindful not to let the sauce burn.
Step 6
Finally, turn off the heat and sprinkle 1 tsp of sesame seeds over the mixture. Stir gently to allow the nutty aroma of the sesame seeds to meld with the other ingredients from the residual heat. Your delicious Almond and Anchovy Stir-fry, packed with flavor and nutrients, is now complete! Let it cool slightly before storing it in a container to enjoy for days to come.
