Ingredients
Directions
Preheat a skillet over high heat until it's almost smoking. Add the palm shortening and swirl the skillet to melt the shortening evenly.
Once the skillet is hot, add the sliced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and lightly golden brown. Use a spatula to stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove the garlic from the skillet once it reaches the desired color.
Next, add the sesame seeds to the skillet and toast for about 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove the sesame seeds from the skillet and let cool completely.
In a pan or skillet, combine the toasted sesame seeds and crispy garlic. Add the gochugaru to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Add the palm shortening back into the pan and stir until it melts and coats the chili mixture evenly. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut oil, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until combined.
If using anchovies, stir them into the chili mixture and let cool completely before serving.
