Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Ready to make a fantastic scallion salad (Pajirry), a perfect match for your favorite meats, that takes only a few minutes to prepare? Let’s get started with this golden recipe!
Step 2
Do you remember the easy way to slice scallions thinly? You don’t need a special scallion cutter to achieve perfectly thin and even strips! (Refer to previous tips for the best slicing technique if needed.)
Step 3
Once your scallions are thinly sliced, soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes. This crucial step removes their sharp, pungent bite, making them wonderfully tender and delicious.
Step 4
After soaking, drain the scallions thoroughly using a colander. Gently press them with your hands to squeeze out as much water as possible. Excess water can dilute the dressing, so ensure they are quite dry.
Step 5
Now, add all the seasoning ingredients to the drained scallions. Combine 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, 1 tsp gochugaru, 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tsp sesame oil. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add 1 tsp of sugar as well.
Step 6
Gently toss and mix everything together until the scallions are evenly coated with the seasoning. Be careful not to overmix or mash the scallions; a light touch is key to maintaining their crisp texture.
Step 7
And there you have it! A delicious scallion salad (Pagedoli) ready without any complicated steps. Enjoy this fresh, crisp, and flavorful salad with your next meal – it’s guaranteed to be a hit!
