I had this side dish while I was in Seoul recently. It was sweet, savory, and a bit nutty.
What is this called in Korean? and where to buy them?

Thanks !

    Looks like stir fried dried anchovies and peanuts. I think the Korean name is myeolchi-bokkeum…

    Looks like a banchan made from stir fried dried anchovies and peanuts, in Korean it is Myeolchi ttangkong bokkeum 멸치땅콩볶음

    멸치볶음 stir fried anchovies.

    Where to buy them? Depends on where you live. If there’s a Korean mart near you, they should have some pre-made banchan like this.

    Seasoned anchovies. Look at your H-Mart.

    Oh my god this is so tasty stir fried anchovies …. We always used to get seconds 🥲🥲

  6. You can make it at home. It’s pretty easy.  Hardest things to find is the dried anchovies. They’ll have them at any Korean grocery store. Here’s a recipe. https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/myeolchi-bokkeum

    Do people really not know this anchovy dish? I’ve never been to Korea and I get served this dish all the time at my local KBBQ place

    This is like candy for Korean children. My mother always made it spicy and I couldn’t get enough when I was little. I made it for my kids and they couldn’t either. Mmmm so ono!

    This and dried octopus, squid, or cuttlefish – were the only animal products I liked as a child.

    Rice stealer. That place was doing you a solid.
