Make a Refreshing and Texturally Pleasing Pickled Garlic Scape Salad
Let’s make a pickled garlic scape salad, a perfect summer side dish that’s wonderfully crunchy and flavorful.
Ingredients- 1 bunch of pickled garlic scapes (small size)
- 2 tsp Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1 tsp Oligodang (corn syrup or rice syrup)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a delicious pickled garlic scape salad today, known for its wonderfully crisp texture.
Step 2
First, gently squeeze out excess brine from the pickled garlic scapes. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm long) and place them in a mixing bowl. Cutting them to a manageable length makes them easier to eat.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the seasonings. Add 2 teaspoons of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) for a mild heat and vibrant color, 1 teaspoon of oligodang (or corn syrup/rice syrup) for a touch of sweetness, and a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for nutty aroma and flavor. (You can also add the sesame seeds as a garnish at the end.)
Step 4
Finally, gently toss everything together with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed and the garlic scapes are well-coated. This ‘jomul jomul’ motion is key to evenly seasoning. Your delicious pickled garlic scape salad is now ready to enjoy! It’s great served immediately or chilled after a short time in the refrigerator.
