- Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup) 1 Tbsp

- Minced garlic 2 Tbsp
- Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) 2 Tbsp
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) 1 Tbsp

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Cut the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Soaking it in water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 5 minutes helps remove impurities. Rinse thoroughly under running water and drain in a colander.
Step 2
Similarly, soak the perilla leaves in the vinegar water, then wash them well under running water. Gently pat them dry, then roll them up and slice into approximately 0.5cm thick strips. This helps them absorb the sauce beautifully.
Step 3
Slice the onion into thick strips. Cut the green onion in half lengthwise. Slice the carrot thinly or into bite-sized pieces. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 4
To prevent the sundae from bursting during cooking and to allow it to absorb the sauce well, slice it into relatively thick pieces, about 1.5cm. Slicing it too thinly might cause it to break apart easily.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious stir-fry sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of gochugaru, 1 tablespoon of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide, a pinch of black pepper, 2 tablespoons of ground perilla seeds, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Step 6
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Sauté the sliced garlic until golden brown and fragrant. Once the garlic aroma is released, add the sliced onions and carrots and stir-fry until the onions become slightly translucent. Then, add the sliced cabbage and continue to stir-fry.
Step 7
It’s important to stir-fry the cabbage just enough to maintain its crispness, so don’t overcook it. Once the cabbage is slightly tender, add the sliced sundae and the prepared sauce mixture to the pan.
Step 8
Stir everything together gently to coat the ingredients with the sauce. Then, pour in 200ml of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. This step will soften the sundae and thicken the sauce.
Step 9
Remove the lid and continue to stir-fry, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken until it’s slightly saucy. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, add the sliced green onions and perilla leaves, and stir-fry briefly.
Step 10
Stir-fry for just a short moment until the green onions and perilla leaves are slightly wilted. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for a finishing touch. Your delicious spicy and sweet stir-fried sundae is ready! Enjoy it while it’s hot.
