Stirfried dried anchovy side dishes (myulchi bokkeum)

The full recipe is on my blog, check it out:

The sundried anchovy side dish is one of the basic Korean sidedishes, usually eaten with a bowl of rice. This is really low calorie and high calcium so Korean parents regularly prepare it for their children. When I was going to school, this was one of the usual dishes we ate all the time. My mom always prepared it for my school lunch.

In this video I make two kinds of myulchi bokkeum. One is sweet, crispy, and mild, the other is sweet, crispy, and hot spicy.


Ingredients:
1. 2 cups dried anchovy, olive oil, brown sugar,
2. garlic, hot pepper paste, corn syrup, water,
3. sesame oil, sesame seeds


For mild myulchi bokkeum:
1. Stir 1 cup of small dried anchovy in a heated pan for 1 minute.
2. Add 1 tbs olive oil and stir it for another minute.
3. Push the cooked myulchi to the edge of the pan away from the heat.
4. Make sauce by adding 1 or 2 tbs sugar, ½ ts minced garlic, 2 ts water, and 1/2 tbs corn syrup (optional) to the cleared spot on the pan.
5. Tip the pan so only the sauce is over the heat. Simmer it until the sauce looks shiny.
6. Mix the cooked anchovy with the sauce and turn the heat off.
7. Add ½ tbs sesame seeds and 1 ts of sesame seeds.

For spicy myulchi bokkeum:
1. Stir 1 cup of small dried anchovy in a heated pan for 1 minute.
2. Add 1 tbs olive oil and stir it for another minute.
3. Push the cooked myulchi to the edge of the pan away from the heat.
4. Make sauce by adding 1 tbs hot pepper paste, 1 tbs sugar , ½ ts minced garlic, 4 ts water, ½ tbs corn syrup to the cleared spot on the pan.
5. Tip the pan so only the sauce is over the heat and simmer until the sauce looks shiny.
6. Mix the cooked anchovy with the sauce and then turn the heat off.
7. Add 1 ts sesame oil and ½ tbs sesame seeds.
*You can keep it in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks until you finish eating it. When you eat it, put it at room temperature for a while before eating, so it can get soft.

Hi Maangchi, with this dish, can I use the original syrup that I eat with pancake to substitute for corn syrup? Thanks a lot

[Maangchi]

@jaden191brown That sounds good to me! Happy cooking!

[thiscrazymonkey]

what do i use to replace corn syrup if i don't have it? my dad loves this, thinking of doing it for him =)

[Maangchi]

@thiscrazymonkey You can replace it with honey. If you use honey, use less because honey is sweeter than corn syrup. Or skip it and use only sugar.

I'm curious, when eating the small anchovies as a snack right out of the bag, do people eat the whole thing or also remove the intestines and head? I'm thinking about buying some and I imagine that they'll be a good snack but me and intestines xD I don't know.

[Maangchi]

@Ominee Eat the whole thing.

@Ominee I think you can try to find dried anchovies that already clean at the market.

Love this so much but every time i cook this my neighbors say it stinks. Instead of cooking it i just microwave it and mix w/ white radish. And ahhhhh....taste like heaven but still stinks my whole house....lol

anyong haseyo maanchi thank you for uploading everytime you cook and have  a request::) it really help:)

[thegardener007]

Hey. Thank you for this. I'm guessing you could use lots of different flavours. It look like the oil,water and sugar are the basic ingredients and then I think I can experiment from there.

[thelumbahjack]

do you have to eat this right away to keep the texture?
