Instructions

  1. 1

    Dry-roast anchovies in a pan on low heat for 3-4 minutes to remove moisture.

  2. 2

    Push anchovies aside, add soy sauce, corn syrup, and sugar to make the sauce.

  3. 3

    Once sauce bubbles, toss with anchovies to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Turn off heat, add sesame oil and sesame seeds to finish.

Tips

Dry-roasting first ensures the anchovies stay crispy.
Adding nuts like walnuts or almonds boosts nutrition and texture.
