STIR FRIED ANCHOVIES with ALMOND

Whenever we have dinner at a Korean restaurant, most of the time we will have this stir fried anchovies as one of the side dish.

We love it and it is one of the source of calcium. And we also use “unsalted roasted almond” here. This what make this Lazy mom’s  recipe special!

I tried to make it on my own way and it is very easy. It is fast too and not much preparation.

I always prepare two type of it, Sweet and Sweet & Spicy.

Besides my own family, I have also cooked this for some other people too! And the feedback is very good! Some of them ask for the recipe!

Do you want to try it? I will share it with you too!
