Arahan

Toast the Anchovies

Place the dried anchovies in a dry pan over medium heat. Stir them gently for a minute or two until they become lightly golden and smell fragrant. This step helps remove the fishy aroma and gives them a toasty flavor.

Add Oil and Stir-Fry

Drizzle in the neutral oil and stir-fry the anchovies for another minute. Be careful not to burn them. Keep stirring to make sure they are evenly coated.

Add the Seasonings

Pour in the rice wine and soy sauce, and mix well. The rice wine adds depth and removes any remaining fishiness, while the soy sauce brings umami flavor.

Add Sweetness and Shine

Lower the heat and drizzle in the oligodang. This syrup adds a gentle sweetness and a glossy finish that makes the dish extra appealing. Stir gently so the syrup doesn't burn.

Finish with Sesame Oil

Turn off the heat and drizzle in the sesame oil. Mix once more, then sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
