Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one bunch of scallions. Choose fresh scallions and wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim off any wilted or unsightly parts.
Step 2
Gently pat the washed scallions dry. Then, cut them into manageable pieces, about 10cm (4 inches) in length. Cutting them to a suitable size ensures the dressing coats them evenly.
Step 3
Place the prepared scallions into a large bowl. Now it’s time to add the delicious seasoning. Add 1 tablespoon of anchovy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), and 1/2 tablespoon of plum extract for a touch of sweetness and tang.
Step 4
Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and flavor. Gently toss everything together with your hands until all the scallions are well coated with the seasoning. Be careful not to toss too vigorously, as this can bruise the scallions. A gentle mix is key!
Step 5
And there you have it – a simple yet incredibly tasty Scallion Salad! It’s delicious served over a bowl of warm rice, or paired with rich, fatty meats or spicy ramen to cut through the richness and enhance the overall flavor. Enjoy this freshly tossed, vibrant scallion salad!
