Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will add flavor to your silkworm pupae stew. Wash the green onion, Cheongyang chili pepper, and red chili pepper thoroughly, then finely chop them. If you prefer it spicier, feel free to increase the amount of Cheongyang chili pepper. Also, have your minced garlic ready.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the pupae. Pour the entire contents of the silkworm pupae can, including the liquid, into a small pot or a ttukbaegi (Korean earthenware pot). Add 2/3 cup of water, measured using the empty pupae can, and then add the minced garlic. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once the stew reaches a gentle boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Season the stew with 1/3 tablespoon of anchovy sauce (or soy sauce for soup if anchovy sauce is unavailable). Immediately add the chopped green onion, Cheongyang chili pepper, and red chili pepper. Let it simmer for another moment before turning off the heat. Finally, sprinkle in some gochugaru according to your preference, followed by a pinch of black pepper and a scattering of sesame seeds. Your delicious Silkworm Pupae Stew is ready to be enjoyed!
