Spicy and Sweet Pickled Garlic Scape Salad
How to Make Delicious Pickled Garlic Scape Salad
Let’s make a real ‘rice thief’ garlic scape salad with gochujang.
Main Ingredients- Pickled garlic scapes 2 cups
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a delicious seasoned dish using pickled garlic scapes that I made a while ago. This dish is known to make you eat more rice!
Step 2
First, drain the pickled garlic scapes thoroughly using a sieve. This helps to remove excess brine and ensures the dressing will cling better to the scapes.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the drained pickled garlic scapes (2 cups). Add the seasoning ingredients: gochugaru (2 tsp) for a spicy kick, sugar (1 tsp) for sweetness, and oligosaccharide (1/2 tsp) for a glossy finish and balanced sweetness. Finally, add a pinch of toasted sesame seeds for nutty aroma and flavor.
Step 4
Gently toss and mix all the ingredients together with your hands until the garlic scapes are well coated with the seasoning. Be careful not to crush the scapes; a gentle touch is key to maintaining their crisp texture.
Step 5
The beauty of this recipe is that you don’t need to add any extra salt or seasoning! The pickled garlic scapes already have a savory and slightly sweet flavor from the pickling process, making this dish perfectly balanced as is. It’s incredibly easy to make, even for beginners.
Step 6
And there you have it! Your delicious and addictive pickled garlic scape salad is ready. Its crisp texture and savory-sweet flavor profile make it an absolute winner as a side dish that pairs wonderfully with steamed rice.
