Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the acorn jelly. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick. Next, prepare the vegetables. Tear the lettuce leaves into manageable pieces. Wash the crown daisy, pat it dry, and set aside. Thinly julienne the cucumber and carrot for a pleasant texture.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing that will bring this dish to life! In a large bowl, combine 1.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp plum extract, 1 tsp gochugaru, 1 tsp vinegar, and finally 1 tsp sesame oil. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Add the cut acorn jelly and all the prepared vegetables to the large bowl containing the dressing. The generous amount of fresh vegetables will make the dish look incredibly appetizing.
Step 4
Pour the prepared dressing over the ingredients. To maintain the crispness of the vegetables, gently toss everything together so the dressing coats everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the acorn jelly.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle a little roasted seaweed flakes and toasted sesame seeds over the top. Your simple and delicious acorn jelly salad is ready! Enjoy its refreshing and chewy taste.
