Hi guys!
So many of you guys asked me to cook with my mom, so we did!!!
She was visiting me, and we took our time filming her cooking and she made my FAV barchan from her…
Korean Pepper and Anchovies! Myulchi Bokkeum!
We had so much fun making Korean Pepper and Anchovies, and I hope you guys like this recipe Korean Banchan (side dish), at home!
Wash the pepper well and remove the cap of the peppers. Big ones are cut in halves and give small ones a little score.
Slice garlic thinly.
Heat a large skillet or a wok over medium heat, then add cooking oil and sliced garlic. Stir fry the garlic for a bit, about 30 seconds.
Add anchovies and stay fried for about 1 to 2 minutes: this way, the fish smell from the anchovies will cook out.
My mom always use small anchovies, but if that’s not appealing to you, you could use extra small anchovies (on the left is the green one)
Add soy sauce, mirin, and prepared peppers. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until all the liquid has gone.
Add sugar, honey, and maesilaek (plum extract) or maple syrup. Stir fry additional for 3 to 4 minutes or until all the ingredients are well combined.
Remove from heat and top it up with some sesame seeds.
Enjoy warm cooked rice, kimchi, and other banchan (side dishes)!
