Main Ingredients- 1/2 block Acorn Jelly (Dotori Muk) (approx. 200g)
- 2 packets Seasoned Laver (Dosirak Kim)
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- Crushed Toasted Sesame Seeds (approx. 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the acorn jelly. Cut the half block of acorn jelly into long strips about 5cm in length for easier slicing. Then, blanch the acorn jelly in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This step will make the acorn jelly chewier and is convenient as you don’t need to rinse it in cold water afterward. Drain the blanched acorn jelly and cut it into small bite-sized cubes (about 1.5cm to 2cm). It’s best to cut them into smaller pieces so children can eat them comfortably.
Step 2
Now, in a mixing bowl for seasoning, place all the cubed acorn jelly. Next, take the 2 packets of seasoned laver (Dosirak Kim), crumble them finely by hand (either in the packet or in a separate bowl), and sprinkle them evenly over the acorn jelly. Finely crumbling the seaweed will help the seasoning adhere better to the jelly and allows the savory flavor and aroma of the seaweed to infuse richly into the jelly.
Step 3
Next, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to add flavor. Sesame oil adds a rich, nutty taste that children will find even more delicious. The fragrant aroma of the sesame oil will further enhance the taste of the acorn jelly and seaweed.
Step 4
Finally, add a generous amount of crushed toasted sesame seeds for extra nuttiness. Lightly crushing the sesame seeds will release their savory flavor and aroma more intensely. You can adjust the amount of sesame seeds to your preference.
Step 5
Now, gently mix everything together so that all the ingredients are well combined. It’s important to mix gently with your hands, tossing from the bottom up, to avoid breaking the acorn jelly. Once all the ingredients are evenly mixed, your delicious Acorn Jelly Salad with Seasoned Seaweed will be ready.
Step 6
And there you have it – a chewy and savory Acorn Jelly Salad with Seasoned Seaweed! It’s a perfect snack or side dish for kids. Since it’s so simple to make, be sure to try it out and enjoy your delicious meal!
