Main Ingredients- 1 block (approx. 300-400g) Water Chestnut Jelly
- 1 packet Lunchbox Seaweed (or seasoned seaweed)
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 Tbsp Red Crab Soy Sauce (or Korean soup soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 Tbsp Red Crab Soy Sauce (or Korean soup soy sauce)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the chewy water chestnut jelly. Cut the jelly into bite-sized pieces, about 2cm x 2cm, that are easy for children to eat and pick up with chopsticks. To prevent the knife from sticking, you can lightly wet it with water or use a clean, sharp knife.
Step 2
Tear open the lunchbox seaweed packet and crumble the seaweed into fine powder inside the bag. Alternatively, you can finely chop or crush the seaweed. In a bowl with the jelly, add the crumbled seaweed, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for its nutty aroma, and 2 tablespoons of red crab soy sauce for a savory depth. Gently mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the jelly by mixing too vigorously.
Step 3
Arrange the well-mixed water chestnut jelly salad attractively on a plate. Serving it in cute bowls that children love can make mealtime even more enjoyable! Now, enjoy your delicious meal! Savor the harmony of the chewy jelly, savory seaweed, and fragrant sesame oil that fills your mouth. It’s a perfect snack or side dish for kids!
