About this dish
Store-bought jjondeugi, a chewy Korean snack sold in flat sheets, gets warmed in a pan and brushed with a thin sweet-and-spicy gochujang glaze.

A plain, unseasoned product works better than one already coated in spicy seasoning, since the added glaze is easier to balance.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Check the eating and heating directions on six plain packaged jjondeugi sheets.
Separate any stuck edges without tearing them.
- 2
In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon gochujang, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon oligosaccharide syrup, 0.5 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until the sugar starts dissolving and the sauce looks even.
- 3
Lay the sheets in a pan over low heat without overlapping.
Unless the package directs otherwise, start checking after about 20 seconds per side and turn as they become pliable under tongs.
- 4
Do not spread the sauce thickly at once.
Brush a thin layer over the first side, keep the heat low, and grill for 20 to 30 seconds until the surface turns glossy and lightly sticky instead of wet.
- 5
Turn the sheet over, brush the other side with another thin layer, and grill it the same way.
If the color darkens too quickly, lower the heat further and turn it more often to prevent scorching.
- 6
Add another thin coat only where needed.
Stop when the sheets are warm and the glaze clings to the surface, then cut with scissors and serve.
