Let’s make a delicious and quick seasoned garlic scape dish using pickled garlic scapes. It’s incredibly appetizing!
Main Ingredients- 1 bunch small pickled garlic scapes (in soy sauce)
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make ‘Seasoned Garlic Scapes,’ a beloved side dish that’s perfect with rice. Especially when your appetite is low during the summer, its sweet, sour, and savory taste will make you finish a whole bowl of rice in no time. Using pre-made pickled garlic scapes makes this incredibly easy.
Step 2
First, drain the pickled garlic scapes thoroughly in a sieve. If there’s remaining moisture, the seasoning might become diluted. Once drained, cut the garlic scapes into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm). Place the cut garlic scapes into a large bowl and add 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes to give it color.
Step 3
Next, add 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide for sweetness and a nice sheen. You can use corn syrup or honey instead, but it’s best to adjust the amount considering the sweetness already in the pickled scapes.
Step 4
Finally, add a pinch of sesame seeds for a nutty flavor. Lightly rubbing the sesame seeds between your palms before adding them will enhance their aroma and taste.
Step 5
Now, gently mix everything with your hands to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed on the garlic scapes. Since the pickled scapes are already well-seasoned, you don’t need to add any extra salt. If you feel it’s not salty enough, you can add a tiny bit more soy sauce or fish sauce.
Step 6
And there you have it – a delicious bowl of seasoned garlic scapes! The crunchy texture and the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors make it delightful to eat right away. It’s also wonderful to store in the refrigerator for future meals. Enjoy your delicious meal!
