Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Introducing Dotori Muk Muchim – a healthy and chewy acorn jelly salad! This recipe is known for its delightful texture and savory flavor, perfect for a simple yet delicious side dish.
Step 2
First, prepare the acorn jelly by slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Cutting it into long strips makes it easier to pick up with chopsticks and helps the dressing penetrate better for enhanced flavor. While a special jelly cutter can create neat shapes, a regular knife works perfectly well. Ensure the jelly is firm enough to slice cleanly.
Step 3
In a bowl, drizzle 1 tablespoon of fragrant sesame oil over the sliced acorn jelly and gently toss to coat. This step helps prevent the jelly pieces from sticking together and enhances their natural flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s add the vegetables and seasonings that will elevate the flavor of the salad. Add a generous amount of finely chopped green onions. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to your liking. Don’t forget to add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and taste.
Step 5
After adding all the ingredients, gently mix everything by hand, being careful not to mash the acorn jelly. It’s important to mix gently so all the components are evenly coated with the dressing. Crumbling roasted seaweed or seasoned seaweed snacks (like nori) and adding them will provide an extra layer of flavor and texture. (Add the seasoned seaweed here.)
Step 6
And there you have it – a delicious and nutritious chewy Acorn Jelly Salad! It’s a wonderful side dish that pairs perfectly with a warm bowl of rice, making for a satisfying meal. The combination of fresh green onions, savory sesame oil, and flavorful seaweed creates a universally loved taste. Enjoy your creation!
