Myulchi Bokkeum (Stir-Fried Dried Anchovies)

Korean-Style Crispy Anchovies (Myulchi Bokkeum) | cHowDivine.com

Myulchi Bokkeum is one of the most popular banchan (side dishes) in Korea. It might seem a bit too exotic to some. But everyone that I know who has tried this dish has fallen in love with it. And I really mean everyone. Even my little niece at the age of two couldn’t get enough of this delectable side dish. One bite and she was hooked. Luckily, this was one of my aunt’s specialties. And when my brother’s family moved away to a different state, my aunt used to mail huge batches of myulchi bokkeum to my brother for my little niece.

Truthfully, I’m not much of a tofu eater. Aside from a few Korean dishes I grew up with, I wasn’t much of a fan. It’s pretty much a blah, flavorless protein, and I was equally blah, agnostic about it. But I guess it would be more accurate to say that I WASN’T much of a fan. Because I’ve been going crazy about tofu lately. More specifically, Seared Tofu with Soy-Maple Sauce.
