Step 1
First, prepare the dried flower shrimp. Place the dried shrimp in a dry pan and stir-fry over low heat for about 3 minutes. This process removes any fishy odors and enhances the nutty aroma. After stir-frying, place the shrimp in a sieve to shake off any crumbs or impurities.
Step 2

Step 3
In the cleared space on the side of the pan, add all the seasoning ingredients: 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp gochujang, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp sugar. Let them simmer until the mixture starts to bubble.

Step 5
Combine the stir-fried shrimp, which you pushed to the side, with the simmering seasoning. Stir everything together to ensure the seasoning evenly coats the shrimp. Continue to stir-fry for a short while until well mixed.

Step 7
As a finishing touch, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. The fragrant aroma of sesame oil will make the dish even more delicious.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the top. Sesame seeds add a nutty flavor, a pleasant crunch, and enhance the visual appeal.

Mix thoroughly one last time to distribute the sesame oil and seeds evenly. Your delicious stir-fried dried shrimp is now ready!
Step 10
Enjoy this wonderfully flavorful dried shrimp stir-fry as a side dish with your rice! It’s a taste that everyone, young and old, will love.
