🔄 Substitution Guide

If Hwangtae (황태) Skin Twigak (튀각) is unavailable or hard to find, try using Bugeo-chae (북어채) (dried pollock shreds).
Lightly fry Bugeo-chae (북어채) in oil or bake it in an air fryer until crispy, then stir-fry it with the same sauce to achieve a similar texture and taste.
However, it might be slightly chewier than Hwangtae (황태) Skin Twigak (튀각), so it's best to shorten the cooking time slightly.
Another option is to use Jwipo-twigak (쥐포튀각) (fried dried filefish crisps) or Geon-saewu-twigak (건새우튀각) (fried dried shrimp crisps).
Jwipo-twigak (쥐포튀각) is characterized by its strong sweetness and chewy texture, while Geon-saewu-twigak (건새우튀각) offers an appealing savory and salty flavor.
In these cases, it's advisable to adjust the sweetness of the sauce or, for Jwipo-twigak (쥐포튀각), make the sauce a bit milder.

🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
This Hwangtae (황태) Skin Stir-fry is very simple, but you can make it much more delicious by remembering a few key points.
First, adding a little water to prevent the sauce from burning is the most important.
After heating cooking oil in a preheated pan and adding the Manneung Yangnyeomjang (만능양념장), add one or two tablespoons of water before the sauce starts to boil.
This prevents the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning, and allows it to coat the Hwangtae (황태) skin smoothly.
Second, add the Hwangtae (황태) Skin Twigak (튀각) after the sauce boils and stir-fry quickly.
Stir-frying for too long can make the crisps lose their crunchiness and become soggy, so the key is to lightly stir-fry just enough to evenly coat them with the sauce.
Finally, maintaining medium-low heat throughout the cooking process will ensure a delicious and foolproof result.
👨🍳 Directions
Heat cooking oil in a preheated pan and add 2 tbsp of Manneung Yangnyeomjang (만능양념장).
Add a little water to prevent the sauce from burning.
Once the sauce boils, add the Hwangtae (황태) Skin Twigak (튀각) and stir-fry.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish.
Transfer the finished Hwangtae (황태) Skin Stir-fry to a container.
