Main Ingredients
- 100g Store-bought fried chicken gizzards (adjust quantity as desired)
- 1/3 Cucumber
- A pinch of Carrot
- 5 Perilla leaves (깻잎)
- A pinch of Cabbage
Balsamic Dressing
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- A pinch of Salt
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp Honey
- A pinch of Salt
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for your salad. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and julienne it. Julienne the carrot and cabbage into similar thicknesses. Wash the perilla leaves, pat them dry, then roll them up and thinly julienne them. These julienned vegetables will add a refreshing crunch and freshness to your salad.
Step 2
To make the store-bought fried gizzards even tastier, we’ll lightly heat them. Place the fried gizzards in a dry frying pan without any oil. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat. This method preserves the crispiness of the fried gizzards while removing excess oil, resulting in a more delicate and chewy texture. (Refer to the package instructions as cooking methods may vary by product.)
Step 3
Arrange the julienned vegetables attractively on your serving plate. Then, place the lightly heated fried gizzards over the vegetables. The vibrant colors of the vegetables and the golden-brown fried gizzards will create an appetizing presentation.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious balsamic dressing. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of honey, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined. Drizzle the finished dressing evenly over the salad. The sweet and tangy dressing will enhance the flavors of the fried gizzards. Enjoy your meal!
