Korean Stir-Fried Fernbrake Side Dish (Gosari Namul 고사리나물)

Step 1

In a pot, place a handful of dried gosari (about 1 ½ oz) and enough water to completely cover the gosari. Bring the gosari and water to a boil.

Step 2

After it has reached a boil, turn the heat down to low heat and cover with a vented lid. Allow the gosari to continue cooking for about 1 hour.

Step 3

After an hour, then leave the gosari in the hot water for about 2 hours.

Step 4

After the 2 hours is up, rinse off the gosari with fresh, clean water and drain well. Fill the pot with clean, cold water and allow it to sit in the water for 24 hours and set aside on the counter. After 24 hours of soaking, then drain and cut the gosari into 2” long pieces.

Step 5

Now, time to stir-fry. Place a pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and the gosari. Stir-fry until all the liquid has evaporated (about 10 minutes).

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, salt, Dasida beef powder stock, ground black pepper, and fish sauce to the pan with the gosari. Continue stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add in the green onions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and quickly mix well (about 30 seconds). Note: You don’t want to really cook this at this point. Just enough time to quickly mix it all in together.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat, place stir-fried gosari in a serving dish, and enjoy!
