Main Ingredients- 200-250g cooked fern brake (store-bought)
- 1 stalk green onion
Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar (approx. 1/2 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 1 pack (200-250g) of cooked fern brake, available at the supermarket. Rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any impurities. (If using fresh fern brake, you’ll need to boil it first.)
Step 2
Cut the long fern brake stems into manageable pieces, about 3-5cm long. If they are too long, they can be difficult to handle with chopsticks while eating. If there are both tender and tougher parts, you can cut the tougher parts a bit shorter.
Step 3
Slice the green onion lengthwise, similar to the length of the cut fern brake. Slicing it long rather than chopping it finely will help it blend well with the fern brake and add a fragrant aroma.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients for the fern brake stir-fry: 1 Tbsp perilla oil, 1 Tbsp cooking oil, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 0.5 Tbsp sugar.
Step 5
Using a spoon, mix the seasoning ingredients in the bowl thoroughly to create the sauce. Stir until the sugar is well dissolved.
Step 6
Add the prepared fern brake to the bowl with the sauce.
Step 7
Gently mix the fern brake with the sauce using your hands or a spoon, ensuring the seasoning coats every piece evenly. Make sure each fern brake stem is well-coated with the sauce.
Step 8
Now it’s time to stir-fry the seasoned fern brake. Transfer it to a frying pan and heat over high heat. Once the pan is hot and starts to sizzle (‘바글바글’), proceed to the next step.
Step 9
Stir-fry the fern brake over high heat for about 1-2 minutes until it slightly wilts. Stir-frying over high heat initially helps to maintain the texture of the fern brake and remove any raw smell.
Step 10
Pour 100ml of water into the pan with the fern brake. This step prevents the fern brake from becoming too dry and helps the seasoning penetrate well.
Step 11
Continue to stir-fry the fern brake over high heat. Cook until the liquid reduces and the seasoning clings to the fern brake, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 12
When the liquid in the pan has reduced by about half, add the prepared green onion. Adding the green onion towards the end preserves its crispness and fragrant flavor.
Step 13
Add the green onion and stir-fry with the fern brake for another 1-2 minutes, just until the green onion is slightly softened.
Step 14
This is the final stage of stir-frying. Turn off the heat when there is only about 1 tablespoon of liquid remaining in the pan. Be careful not to overcook it until it’s too dry.
Step 15
After turning off the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds to your liking and mix lightly. Your delicious fern brake stir-fry is now complete! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice. ^^
