- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce (adjust if using soup soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar (adjust sweetness)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil (for nutty flavor, perilla oil can be substituted)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the acorn jelly into bite-sized cubes, about 1 to 1.5 cm thick. This size makes it easy to pick up with chopsticks and allows the seasoning to be absorbed evenly, making it more delicious.
Step 2
Place the cubed acorn jelly into a large bowl along with the thinly sliced onion, and the lettuce and perilla leaves (either torn or cut into pieces). Using fresh vegetables will significantly enhance the flavor of the salad.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning mix. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) and mix well. Using fine gochugaru will result in a more beautiful color.
Step 4
Add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to bring in sweetness, and stir until it dissolves smoothly with the soy sauce and chili flakes. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to enhance the aroma. The nutty fragrance of sesame oil will double the deliciousness of the acorn jelly salad. If you don’t have sesame oil, perilla oil is a great substitute.
Step 6
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to bring a pleasant garlicky kick. Minced garlic plays a crucial role in bringing out the savory flavor of the seasoning.
Step 7
Pour the prepared golden seasoning mix evenly over the bowl containing the vegetables and acorn jelly. Ensure the seasoning is distributed uniformly over all the ingredients.
Step 8
Now for the most important step! Put on disposable gloves and gently toss the ingredients together, being careful not to mash the acorn jelly. The key is to mix gently so the seasoning is evenly coated. Your delicious Acorn Jelly Salad is now complete – truly simple! Enjoy it right away!
