깻잎 장아찌 - Spice Candied Dried Shrimp Stir Fry
Sweet and spicy, this dish is a great addition to banchan served with soups like miyeok guk (seaweed soup), grilled meat dishes, Bibimbap, Spicy soups, and Naengmyeon, the Korean cold noodle soup.
Ingredients
4 ounces Korean Dried Pink Shrimp
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fine ground gochugaru
1 tablespoon rice or corn syrup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon maesil extract
Substitute for Maesil Extract: Plum juice, apple juice, mirim/mirin
Directions
Mix three tablespoons sugar, the gochugaru, syrup, soy sauce, and maesil extract in a small bowl and mix well.
Heat a stir fry pan over medium high heat, add the oil, then add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about three minutes.
Lower heat to medium and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the shrimp, then cook for another 3 min.
Add the liquid mixture to the pan, drop the heat to low, and stir fry a few minutes more, until the liquid adheres to the shrimp.
Serve as a snack or part of a banchan array with a Korean meal.
