#WinterDelicacy #Gwamegi #PerfectPair #Gochujang #HealthySnack
Introducing a lavish Gwamegi platter, a winter delicacy, served with fresh assorted vegetables, shredded green onions, and a sweet and tangy gochujang dipping sauce. The combination of chewy Gwamegi and crisp vegetables is exceptional, making it a perfect, healthy winter snack. While it’s commonly enjoyed with ingredients like spring greens or baby napa cabbage and seaweed wraps, today we’ll make it extra special by pairing it with cabbage wraps and thinly sliced green onions.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack Gwamegi (fermented herring)
- 1/2 large green onion (or 2-3 stalks scallions)
- 4-5 napa cabbage leaves
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the shredded green onion. If you have scallions, wash them thoroughly and set aside. If not, use the white parts of a large green onion and slice them thinly into shreds. This adds a satisfying crunch and a subtle sweetness that enhances the overall flavor when eaten with Gwamegi.
Step 2
Prepare your accompanying vegetables using whatever you have on hand. For this recipe, we’ve prepared fresh napa cabbage leaves and thinly sliced eggplant from the refrigerator. Feel free to use other favorites like baby napa cabbage, lettuce, perilla leaves, seaweed, or kelp to create a more abundant Gwamegi spread. It’s also a great way to use up leftover vegetables in your fridge!
Step 3
Cut the Gwamegi into bite-sized pieces. Typically, Gwamegi is cut into 2-3 pieces and arranged attractively on a plate. With these simple preparations, you’ll have an impressive Gwamegi meal ready in no time.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared Gwamegi, shredded green onions, and assorted vegetable wraps beautifully on a platter, and serve with the sweet and tangy gochujang dipping sauce. Take a piece of Gwamegi, top it with the prepared vegetables and green onions, dip it lightly in gochujang, and wrap it all up. You’ll be amazed by the rich flavors and aromas that fill your mouth! Enjoy the harmonious blend of chewy, savory Gwamegi and fresh vegetables!
