- 1 tsp home-style fermented soybean paste (doenjang)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the crown daisy thoroughly. Prepare a pot of boiling water and briefly blanch the crown daisy for just about 15-30 seconds, or until it slightly wilts. It’s crucial not to overcook it, as this will preserve its fresh, aromatic flavor.
Step 2
Quickly rinse the blanched crown daisy under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down. Gently squeeze out excess water, but be sure to leave it slightly moist. This will help the dressing adhere better and maintain a tender texture. Cut the crown daisy into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm long.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the seasoning ingredients: 1 teaspoon of home-style soybean paste, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of minced garlic. Mix these well to create a flavorful dressing.
Step 4
Add the prepared crown daisy to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss the ingredients together using your hands, being careful not to break the delicate leaves. Ensure the savory soybean paste, nutty sesame oil, and pungent garlic are evenly distributed throughout the crown daisy.
Step 5
Finally, gently mix the crown daisy, which still retains a bit of moisture, with the dressing until everything is well combined. Your aromatic and delicious Crown Daisy Salad with Home-Style Soybean Paste is ready to serve! It’s wonderful served immediately or chilled. Enjoy it spooned over rice for a truly satisfying meal.
