Main Ingredients- 1 block Acorn Jelly (350g)
- 1/2 Onion
- A little Carrot
- 1 handful Dried Seaweed Flakes (Gim)
- Sesame Seeds, to taste
Seasoning Mix- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes)
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract or Oligosaccharide
- A little Finely Chopped Green Onion
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes)
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract or Oligosaccharide
- A little Finely Chopped Green Onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare one block (350g) of chewy and delicious acorn jelly. If your jelly is refrigerated, take it out directly. If it’s been stored at room temperature, a quick rinse under running water will prepare it nicely.
Step 2
Slice the prepared acorn jelly into bite-sized pieces. Slicing them too thinly can reduce the enjoyable chewiness, so cutting them about 1cm thick is a great tip to enhance the texture.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the flavorful seasoning mix! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp Gochugaru, 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 Tbsp Sugar, 1 Tbsp Vinegar, and 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic. Add 1 Tbsp Plum Extract or Oligosaccharide for sweetness. Also, add a good amount of finely chopped green onions for a fragrant touch, making it even more delicious. Mix all the seasoning ingredients well and let them meld for a moment.
Step 4
Prepare the vegetables to accompany the acorn jelly. Thinly julienne the carrot and roughly julienne the onion. (Feel free to add cucumber or other vegetables according to your preference.) First, add the prepared vegetables to the seasoning mix and toss gently to allow the flavors to soak in. This way, you can fully enjoy the crisp texture of the vegetables along with the rich seasoning.
Step 5
Add the bite-sized acorn jelly pieces to the seasoned vegetables. It’s important to mix gently to prevent the jelly from breaking apart.
Step 6
Now, add a generous amount of dried seaweed flakes (Gim) to enhance the flavor. Seaweed flakes play a crucial role in adding umami and a nutty richness to the jelly salad.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle 2 Tbsp of nutty perilla oil. While you can use sesame oil, perilla oil adds a unique aroma that makes this dish even more delightful. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and your mouth-watering acorn jelly salad is complete! You can enjoy it immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for an even more refreshing taste.
