I accidentally bought two packs of this thinking I was buying dried Anchovy. What can I use it for?

Same thing you’d use regular anchovy for, this stuff is smoked for some extra flavor. It’s just smoky anchovy bullion.

You can make soup stock with this. It just has bonito added so you’ll get some of that flavor instead of just anchovy — it’ll still be good!

it’s basically katsuobushi or shavings of dried anchovies. if you were planning on using the dried anchovies for making stock, you can still use this in its place.

It’s basically an anchovy stock powder. I use it for the stock in my jjigae.

Make some Korean dumpling soup or something, it should enrich the flavour…. source, I am Korean and have seen my mum use it before

Would be amazing in a soup with some radish simmered for a long time in it, eomuk (fish cakes), and green onions roasted over a flame until burnt a little on outside. Odengtang or odengguk.
Or with beef and radish in a clear soup.
Or as stock for doenjang jjigae.

If you make ramen at home you can add it to the water to add extra depth. I’ve used it as a base for different tomato soups, ddukbokki, or other braised/soupy dishes. Good for adding some extra umami

You don’t have to use it for only soup by the way. It works great as seasoning for veggies in a stir fry.

This stuff is a cheat code for Korean households. It’s instant stock and I use it daily.

This is the base for most Korean jjigaes. You put in this dashima/anchovy pack in some broth. Add some fermented soybean paste and veggies and get dwenjangjigae.

You can use it as a base for any kind of seafood broth. Use it in place of dashi. It’s also good as a base for Korean steamed egg, which is a great breakfast.

I use this for steamed eggs, janchi guksu, kalguksu, doenjang chige, sundubu chige, pollack soup, seafood stew, etc…

maaaaan …. I spent like half an hour looking for this at 99 ranch Mart and couldn’t find it but you find this on accident ..

That’s hilarious, I just ran out and put this on my list today.
I make jjigaes pretty regularly and find that it works perfectly well for that

When in doubt, soup
