How to Make Delicious Gochujang Stir-Fried Garlic Scapes Using Frozen Scapes
Let’s make a delicious gochujang stir-fry using frozen garlic scapes! This recipe is perfect for utilizing ingredients you have on hand.
Main Ingredients- 200g frozen garlic scapes
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the frozen garlic scapes. We’ll go through a thawing process to maintain their crisp texture.
Step 2
Gently pat the thawed garlic scapes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is important to prevent oil splattering when stir-frying. Be careful not to press too hard, as this could mash the scapes.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the dried garlic scapes and stir-fry until they become slightly tender.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the delicious seasonings. Add 1 tablespoon of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 0.5 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide. Stir-fry everything together, ensuring the sauce coats the garlic scapes evenly. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
Step 5
Finally, let’s add the finishing touches for flavor. Turn off the heat, then stir in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil or perilla oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Toss gently to combine. Using perilla oil will add a richer, nuttier aroma.
Step 6
There you have it! A delicious gochujang stir-fried garlic scape dish made from frozen scapes. This is incredibly tasty served over a bowl of hot rice. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy!
