Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for the dish by washing them thoroughly. Rinse the water parsley multiple times under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Wash the apple well, as you’ll be using it with the peel.
Step 2
Water parsley grown in fields is rich in various nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, calcium, and potassium. These nutrients are known to aid in detoxification, expelling toxins from the body, relieving hangovers, preventing constipation, promoting urination, reducing swelling, and strengthening blood pressure. It’s a nutritious spring vegetable that’s not only delicious but also beneficial for your health.
Step 3
Cut the prepared water parsley into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm long. If they are too long, it might be difficult to toss or eat.
Step 4
Wash the apple thoroughly and cut it into thick julienne strips without peeling. Keeping the peel on will add a beautiful color, a satisfying crunch, and retain its abundant nutrients.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: 1.5 Tbsp gochugaru, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 Tbsp plum extract, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Mix them well with a spoon to create a flavorful dressing.
Step 6
Transfer the julienned apple and the cut water parsley into a large bowl.
Step 7
Pour all of the prepared spicy salad dressing over the ingredients.
Step 8
Gently toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until the dressing is evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the water parsley mushy. Finally, adjust the seasoning with salt to your taste. Your delicious Apple Water Parsley Spicy Salad, with its combination of crisp apple and fragrant water parsley, is now ready!
Step 9
Many people feel lethargic and tired due to spring fatigue during this season. Fight off that spring drowsiness with this sweet, sour, and refreshing Apple Water Parsley Spicy Salad, packed with Vitamin C! It’s a wonderful, healthy dish to enjoy.
