Step 3
Once your scallions are sliced beautifully thin and evenly (just like using a specialized tool!), soak them in cold water for a short period. This step is crucial for reducing their pungent spiciness and enhancing their crispiness.
Step 4
Gently squeeze out all the excess water from the scallions. Then, in a bowl, combine the measured ingredients: 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tsp sesame oil.
Step 5
Now, gently toss and mix everything together with your hands until the scallions are evenly coated with the dressing. Be sure to mix gently to avoid bruising the scallions and maintaining their crisp texture.
Step 6
See how easy and quick that was? Now that you have this delicious scallion salad ready, make sure to pair it with your meat dishes from now on. Its refreshing, slightly tangy, and spicy flavor will cut through the richness of the meat, making your meal even more enjoyable.
