Stir Fry Shishito Pepper & Dried Anchovy (Kkwarigochu 꽈리고추 Myulchi Bokkeum)
I just made this delicious Korean anchovy side dish with shishito peppers (Kkwarigochu / 꽈리고추) and dried anchovies (Myulchi / 멸치). Essentially, dried anchovies are coated in salty, nutty and sweet sauce and they are pan fried. There are a few different ways to make Korean anchovy side dish, and this version includes shishito peppers. Apparently, anchovy is rich in calcium but it lacks vitamin C. So accompanying it with shishito pepper, which is rich in vitamin C is a good way to make dried anchovy dish! Often shishito peppers are not hot and it’s rather (peppery) sweet. However, you can ended up with some random hot shishito peppers too! So, watch out for that. Shishito peppers really gives nice crunch texture and I think they are a perfect companion to dried anchovies.
