Recorded cooking sequence

  1. Dry-toast the cleaned anchovies over medium-low heat for three minutes.
  2. Add the cooking wine and evaporate the moisture. Set the anchovies aside and separate broken crumbs.
  3. Heat the oil and brown the sliced garlic.
  4. Reduce to low heat and bring the prepared sauce to a bubble.
  5. Turn off the heat before tossing in the anchovies. Finish with sesame seeds.

What makes this method different

The source separates dry-toasting from sauce preparation, then combines them off the heat. That is the useful technique this page preserves. A 200 ml cup is a volume measure; it does not establish a 70–80 g anchovy weight. Likewise, a handful of garlic cannot support an exact clove count. The old automatic English edition supplied both, so they are not carried into this guide.

Measurements and recipe scope

This is a technique overview, not a complete sauce recipe. The source mentions vinegar but does not capture its quantity or the other sauce ratios. No sauce amounts or refrigerated shelf-life claims are invented.
