Its combination of sweet, salty, and nutty notes, along with a gentle crunch, makes it irresistible and a family favorite.
재료(Half-cup banchan portion 기준)
- 1 cup Small dried anchovies (myeolchi (멸치), eunsang or jiri-myeolchi)
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (such as grapeseed or canola)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (jin-ganjang (진간장), low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Rice syrup (ssal-cheong (쌀청), or honey for natural sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Mirin (optional, for extra depth) - 선택 사항
- 1 teaspoon Chopped green chili (for mild heat, omit for kids) - 선택 사항

조리 방법
- 1
Place the dried anchovies in a fine sieve and gently shake to remove excess salt and debris. Optionally, remove the heads and guts if desired for a milder flavor.
3 minutes
Removing heads and guts reduces bitterness and is preferred for a cleaner taste.
- 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Dry-roast the anchovies for 2-3 minutes until crisp and fragrant, stirring continuously.
4 minutes
Do not burn the anchovies—keep the heat low and stir often.
- 3
Push the anchovies to the side of the pan. Add neutral oil and minced garlic to the center. Sauté until the garlic is aromatic but not browned.
2 minutes
Adding garlic after dry-roasting prevents burning and bitterness.
- 4
Add soy sauce, rice syrup, and mirin (if using) to the pan. Stir quickly to coat the anchovies evenly, then add the chopped green chili if desired.
3 minutes
Mix the sauce ingredients before pouring for even distribution.
