Main Ingredients- Acorn jelly (Dotori Muk) 1/2 block (approx. 300g)
- Chives (Buchu) 1 handful (approx. 50g)
- Onion 1/4 (medium size)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s cut the acorn jelly into bite-sized pieces. Cut the jelly into lengths of about 3cm, then dice them into pieces about 1.5cm thick. Cutting them too small might reduce the chewy texture, so aim for a suitable size.
Step 2
Next is making the delicious dressing. In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp of store-bought Oriental dressing. Add 1/2 Tbsp of gochugaru for a pleasant spicy kick. Finally, add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1/2 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds. Stir well until all ingredients are combined. You can add a little sugar or soy sauce to taste if you prefer.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables. Wash the chives thoroughly and cut them into lengths of 3-4cm. Cutting them too long can be inconvenient to eat. Slice the onion thinly or chop it coarsely. If slicing thinly, soaking the onion in cold water for a while and then draining can help reduce its pungent flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared chives and onion attractively over the diced acorn jelly. Spreading them evenly over the jelly makes the dish look even more appealing.
Step 5
Finally, generously drizzle the prepared special sauce over the acorn jelly and vegetables. Gently toss to coat the jelly and vegetables with the sauce, or serve it as is. Your chewy and delicious acorn jelly salad is now ready! Enjoy it right away.
