- 1 pack fresh bean sprouts (approx. 100g)
Savory & Sweet Dressing- 100cc Soy Sauce (100ml)
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds (generous amount)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 100cc Soy Sauce (100ml)
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds (generous amount)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the acorn jelly into bite-sized pieces, such as strips about 1cm thick. Avoid cutting it too thin, as it may break apart easily. Ensure a moderate thickness for the best texture.
Step 2
Gently rinse the fresh sprouts and drain them well. Place them in a large bowl, being careful not to crush them. Using a mix of different sprouts can add more variety in flavor and texture.
Step 3
Add the prepared acorn jelly to the bowl with the sprouts. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing (soy sauce and gochugaru) first to lightly season the ingredients before mixing everything together.
Step 4
Now, using your hands or a spatula, gently toss the ingredients together, taking care not to mash the sprouts or jelly. It’s important to mix thoroughly so the dressing coats everything evenly. Taste and add more dressing if needed. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more soy sauce; for more spice, add extra gochugaru.
Step 5
Once the acorn jelly and sprouts are well combined with the dressing, add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma. Toss gently again to incorporate these final ingredients. Sesame oil and seeds are key for the finishing touch of flavor.
Step 6
When everything is beautifully mixed and coated, your delicious Acorn Jelly Salad with Sprouts is ready to be enjoyed! Savor the wonderful combination of fresh greens and chewy jelly.
