Main Ingredients- 300g Acorn Jelly (Dotorimuk)
- 10 Perilla Leaves (Kkaennip)
- 2 Dried Seaweed Sheets (Gim)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the acorn jelly under running water and drain well. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 cm thick, and place them in a mixing bowl. Wash the perilla leaves thoroughly, pat them dry, and thinly slice them into about 0.5 cm strips. Add the sliced perilla leaves to the bowl with the acorn jelly.
Step 2
Lightly toast the dried seaweed sheets in a pan until crispy. Once cooled, crumble them finely with your hands or cut them into small pieces with scissors. This step adds a wonderful nutty aroma to the salad.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the flavorful soy sauce dressing that will bring this salad to life. In a separate small bowl, combine 25ml of soy sauce and 25ml of vinegar. This balanced ratio is key to a clean and refreshing taste.
Step 4
Next, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the dressing for a touch of sweetness. You can substitute sugar with corn syrup or honey if you prefer.
Step 5
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds to complete the dressing ingredients. For an even more intense nutty flavor, lightly rub the sesame seeds between your palms before adding them.
Step 6
Pour the prepared soy sauce dressing evenly over the acorn jelly and perilla leaves in the mixing bowl. Ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients well.
Step 7
Gently toss and mix everything together with your hands, ensuring the dressing is well incorporated. Be careful not to mash the acorn jelly. Finally, add the crumbled seaweed and give it a light mix. Your delicious and chewy acorn jelly salad is now ready to enjoy!
