Tangy Dressing- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp pineapple juice (can substitute with 1 tsp sugar if unavailable)
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp black sesame seeds
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp pineapple juice (can substitute with 1 tsp sugar if unavailable)
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp black sesame seeds
- 1 tsp vinegar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your fresh garlic chives and fragrant scallions (or spring onions). Rinse the garlic chives thoroughly, pat them dry, and then cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm long. Trim and cut the scallions (or spring onions) to a similar length. This preparation ensures the ingredients mix well with the dressing and are easy to eat.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the sweet and tangy dressing that will bring this garlic chives salad to life! In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp pineapple juice, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp vinegar. Whisk them together until well blended. Pineapple juice adds a unique sweetness and tropical aroma that elevates the salad’s flavor profile. (If pineapple juice is not available, you can increase the sugar to 1 tsp for sweetness.) Finally, add 1/4 tsp of sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp of black sesame seeds for a nutty crunch and appealing visual. Stir everything together to complete your delicious dressing.
Step 3
This is the final step! Thinly slice the red chili pepper into slivers for a pop of color and a mild spice. Place the prepared garlic chives and scallions (or spring onions) into a large bowl. Pour all the prepared dressing over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together with your hands, ensuring each piece of garlic chive is coated in the flavorful dressing. Garnish with the sliced red chili pepper. Your refreshing and vibrant garlic chives salad is now ready! This salad is perfect as a light side dish or a palate cleanser. Enjoy!
