Main Ingredients- 130g fresh scallions
- 1/2 medium onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s important to wash the scallions thoroughly. Instead of rinsing under running tap water, it’s best to submerge them in a bowl filled with plenty of water and wash them gently. This method effectively removes dirt and debris. Rinse them several times and drain well.
Step 2
Cut the cleaned 130g of scallions into approximately 5cm lengths, making them easy to eat. If they are too long, the seasoning might not penetrate well, and they can be difficult to handle. Cutting them to a suitable length is recommended.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the 1/2 medium onion. The slight sharpness of the onion will blend with the seasoning to enrich the flavor of the scallion kimchi.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning! In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp gochugaru. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 5
Add the prepared scallions and sliced onion to the bowl with the seasoning. Gently toss them together. Scallions can develop a raw, grassy flavor if handled too roughly, so lightly mixing them with your hands is the key to preserving their crisp texture and fresh aroma.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle in 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty fragrance. Adding sesame seeds not only enhances the visual appeal but also doubles the nutty flavor.
Step 7
To finish, drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil to further elevate the taste. Give it one last gentle mix, and your delicious scallion kimchi (scallion salad) is ready! It’s great to eat right away, and it keeps well in the refrigerator for future enjoyment.
