Step 1
We’re going to make a refreshing scallion and onion salad today! This dish is known for cutting through the richness of meat and creating a perfect harmony. It’s a fantastic side dish that awakens your appetite.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the seasoning. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic. This forms the savory base of our dressing.
Step 3
Next, add 1 teaspoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to the bowl. The balance of spiciness and sweetness is key. Then, thinly slice 1/4 onion into matchsticks and add it to the seasoning mixture. The onion will add a subtle sweetness and crunch.
Step 4
Now, let’s add the finishing touches for flavor and aroma. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for its nutty fragrance. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds (about 1/2 teaspoon) over the top. The sesame seeds not only add flavor but also a lovely visual appeal.
Step 5
Wash the scallions thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut them into 3-4cm lengths. Now, add the prepared scallions and the julienned onion to the seasoning. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the ingredients. The goal is to lightly coat everything without bruising the delicate scallions.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious scallion and onion salad is ready. It’s perfect served alongside a warm bowl of rice or with your favorite grilled meats. Enjoy this delightful addition to your meal!
