Ingredients
- 200g fresh chives
- 1 onion
Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp anchovy sauce (fish sauce)
- 2 Tbsp red chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (maesilcheong)
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (for sweetness and shine)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 3 Tbsp anchovy sauce (fish sauce)
- 2 Tbsp red chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (maesilcheong)
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (for sweetness and shine)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully trim and clean the fresh chives. It might take a little effort to prepare them, but this meticulous preparation is the beginning of a delicious chive salad. Once they are trimmed, you’ll be able to enjoy a speedy and tasty dish! 🥬
Step 2
If the chives feel a bit stiff, it’s a good idea to pre-season them with 3 tablespoons of anchovy sauce to help the dressing penetrate and tenderize them. The savory flavor of the anchovy sauce will soften the chives and add a deep umami.
Step 3
Once the chives have absorbed some of the seasoning and softened, it’s time to add more flavor. Mix in 2 tablespoons of red chili flakes for a gentle kick, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for aroma, and 1 tablespoon of sweet and sour plum extract. These seasonings will elevate the taste of the chives.
Step 4
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Gently toss everything together until the chives and seasonings are well combined to complete your crisp and refreshing chive and onion salad! ✨ If you plan to eat it immediately, a little sesame oil can enhance the nutty flavor. However, if you intend to store it in the refrigerator, omitting the sesame oil is recommended to preserve the fresh taste of the chives for longer.
Step 5
This freshly tossed chive salad is wonderful on its own, but it’s truly spectacular when paired with smoked duck or pork belly! 🤤 The burst of flavor and texture in your mouth cuts through the richness of the smoked meats and adds a delightful contrast.
Step 6
When you’re short on side dishes or your appetite is lacking, a quick chive salad is an incredibly appealing option. It’s a clean and delicious side dish that you won’t get tired of eating, even regularly. Give this wonderful chive salad a try! 👍
