Myeolchi-bokkeum, with a twist

 This traditional Korean dish is made with dried anchovies. I put my take on this recipe by using insects!

1cup dried mealworms

1 tsp lard

1 tsp hot pepper paste, sriracha or sambal

1 tsp coconut aminos

1 tsp cane vinegar

1 tsp honey

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

1tsp toasted sesame oil

salt to taste

Dry fry worms over medium high heat for 90secs and reserve. Combine the next 6 ingredients, cook till bubbling. Remove from heat. Add worms and sesame seed, mix thoughly. Drizzle sesame oil over the top and taste for salt. Serve over cauli-fried rice, steam rice or as a side dish
