When I lived in Korea, I went to a very popular “ddukbokkie” place located in a big market. The owner was an old lady and she kept stirring her ddukbokkie. People were lining up to buy her ddukbokkie. She was a kind of a famous ddukbokkie seller. I learned from her to make tasty ddukbokkie, dried anchovies are needed. One day I ran out of dried anchovies, but I made ddukbokkie. It didn’t taste like I expected. So don’t forget to make good stock using dried anchovies to make delicious ddukbokkie.
