Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Slice the carrot thinly into half-moons and thinly slice the onion. Cut the perilla leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside as they will be added towards the end to maintain their fresh aroma and crispness.
Step 2
Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared carrots and onions and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the carrots become slightly translucent and the onions soften, bringing out their natural sweetness.
Step 3
Once the vegetables are about half-cooked, add the sundae (or innards), cut into bite-sized pieces, to the pan. Stir-fry them together, ensuring the sundae doesn’t stick. Continue to cook until the sundae is heated through.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the sauce that will make the sundae so delicious! Add all the sauce ingredients: gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, cheongju, and water directly over the sundae and vegetables. Stir-fry over high heat to quickly coat the sundae evenly with the sauce.
Step 5
As the sauce thickens and coats the sundae with a glossy sheen, add the pre-cut perilla leaves. Stir-fry briefly for about 30 seconds. It’s important not to overcook them, so they retain their crisp texture and fragrant aroma.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle in the perilla seed powder for an added nutty flavor and aroma, and mix gently. This step truly elevates the dish! Transfer the stir-fried sundae to a serving plate and garnish with the minced green onions for a visually appealing and flavorful finish. Enjoy your delicious Sundae Bokkeum!
