The Sound of Spring Arriving: Expert Tips for Preparing Fresh Bomdong
Here’s your guide to perfectly preparing bomdong, a delicious seasonal vegetable that heralds the arrival of spring. Proper preparation is the key to unlocking its fresh, crisp flavor in any dish!
Essential Ingredient- Spring Cabbage (Bomdong), fresh
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently spread out the bomdong leaves, holding it like a regular cabbage. Using a knife, carefully trim off the tough bottom core. Be precise and avoid cutting too much, just enough to remove the woody part.
Step 2
The outermost leaves of the bomdong might be a bit wilted or less pristine. Carefully peel off these outer leaves one by one. You can discard them or, if they seem fine, save them for another use.
Step 3
After removing the outer leaves, you’ll see the core area again. Trim this bottom part once more. This step helps to loosen the leaves, making them easier to separate.
Step 4
Now, gently pull apart the bomdong leaves. Separate them into three natural sections: the outer leaves, the middle leaves, and the tender inner leaves. Be gentle as they can still be slightly attached.
Step 5
Rinse the separated bomdong leaves thoroughly under cool running water. Be sure to wash them multiple times to remove any soil or grit that might be trapped between the leaves. Gently rub the leaves with your hands as you wash to ensure they are perfectly clean and ready for your culinary creations.
