Main Ingredients
- Acorn jelly (Dotori-muk) 300g
- Store-bought cold noodle broth (Naengmyeon-yuksu) 200ml x 2
- Lettuce 2 leaves
- Baby cabbage 2 leaves
- Aged kimchi, a little
- Sesame seeds, a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 300g of acorn jelly. Using store-bought acorn jelly makes the cooking process even more convenient.
Step 2
Prepare two 200ml portions of chilled store-bought cold noodle broth. Using broth that’s slightly slushy with ice will make it even more refreshing.
Step 3
To preserve the chewy texture unique to acorn jelly, use a muk-cutter or a knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1cm thick. Be careful not to slice it too thinly, as it might break apart.
Step 4
Add fresh vegetables and kimchi to enhance the flavor profile. Finely julienne 2 lettuce leaves, 2 baby cabbage leaves, and 2 pieces of well-fermented kimchi after washing them thoroughly. Lightly squeeze out excess juice from the kimchi before using.
Step 5
Arrange the prepared acorn jelly attractively at the bottom of a wide bowl. This is a crucial step to lay the foundation for your jelly bowl.
Step 6
Nicely arrange the julienned lettuce, baby cabbage, and kimchi on top of the acorn jelly. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds for a nutty aroma to complete the dish.
Step 7
Pour the two 200ml portions of chilled cold noodle broth over the prepared ingredients. Ensure the broth is poured evenly to cover all the ingredients.
Step 8
And just like that, your refreshing and delicious Acorn Jelly Bowl is complete!
Step 9
According to your preference, you can add a touch of soy sauce, vinegar, or wasabi for an even richer taste. It’s also satisfying to mix in some rice, and it’s an excellent low-calorie option for a diet meal.
