Cooking Instructions
Step 1
[Anchovy and Peanut Brittle] First, toast the anchovies in a dry pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes. This helps remove any fishy smell and makes them crispier and more flavorful. 
Step 2
[Anchovy and Peanut Brittle] Next, lightly oil a pan and sauté minced garlic over low heat until fragrant. Once the garlic is slightly cooked, add soy sauce, anchovy broth (or water), and rice syrup (or corn syrup). Bring to a simmer over medium heat. 
Step 3
[Anchovy and Peanut Brittle] When the sauce starts to boil, add the toasted anchovies and roasted peanuts. Stir-fry over high heat quickly for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats everything evenly. 
Step 4
[Anchovy and Peanut Brittle] Turn off the heat, drizzle with a little sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Mix well to finish this delicious anchovy and peanut brittle. 
Step 5
[Crispy Dried Shrimp Stir-Fry] Clean the dried shrimp by removing any debris. Toast them in a dry pan over low heat for about 1 minute to remove moisture. This enhances their flavor and texture. 
Step 6
[Crispy Dried Shrimp Stir-Fry] In the same pan, add a little cooking oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Then, pour in the soy sauce, anchovy broth (or water), and sesame oil. Simmer over medium heat. 
Step 7
[Crispy Dried Shrimp Stir-Fry] Once the sauce is simmering, add the toasted dried shrimp and stir-fry quickly to coat them with the sauce. Finally, add finely chopped green onions (using mostly the white parts can add a nice subtle flavor) and mix gently. 
Step 8
[Crispy Dried Shrimp Stir-Fry] Turn off the heat, drizzle with a little sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Your crispy dried shrimp stir-fry is ready! 
Step 9
[Spicy and Sweet Dried Pollack Stir-Fry] Cut the dried pollack into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm). Lightly toast it in a dry pan over low heat for about 1 minute to soften it. 
Step 10
[Spicy and Sweet Dried Pollack Stir-Fry] Heat a little cooking oil in the pan, sauté minced garlic until aromatic. Add soy sauce, anchovy broth (or water), and rice syrup (or corn syrup). Bring to a simmer over medium heat. 
Step 11
[Spicy and Sweet Dried Pollack Stir-Fry] When the sauce boils, add the toasted dried pollack and finely chopped Cheongyang pepper. Stir-fry over high heat for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is well absorbed. Finish by adding sesame oil and sesame seeds. 
Step 12
[Unique Delicacy: Dried Cod Skin Stir-Fry] Rinse the dried cod skin under running water and pat it dry. Cut into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm). Heat 5 Tbsp of cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the cod skin until golden and crispy. Drain excess oil using paper towels. 
Step 13
[Unique Delicacy: Dried Cod Skin Stir-Fry] Prepare the sauce. In another pan (or after removing the fried cod skin), combine soy sauce, anchovy broth (or water), minced garlic, and rice syrup (or corn syrup). Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add the fried cod skin, chopped Cheongyang pepper, and red chili pepper (for color and mild heat) and stir-fry until the sauce coats the skin well.
