Main Ingredients

- 1/4 Onion
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 12 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Red chili pepper
- A little Carrot
Sauce
- 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 2/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 3 Dashes Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 2/3 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 3 Dashes Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the delicious sauce that will make your acorn jelly salad shine. In a bowl, combine 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp red pepper flakes, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2/3 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 3 dashes black pepper, and 1 Tbsp sesame seeds. Mix them well until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion into shreds and soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes. This removes the pungent smell and enhances their crisp texture. Drain the water completely using a sieve.
Step 3
Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then cut it in half lengthwise. Slice it into half-moon shapes, about 0.5 cm thick. Removing the seeds will help prevent excess water.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the sliced cucumber with about 2 Tbsp of the prepared sauce and gently toss to coat. Letting the cucumber marinate in the sauce for a bit will make it even more flavorful.
Step 5
Wash the fresh lettuce leaves and tear or cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
Take the 480g block of acorn jelly and cut it into pieces about 1 to 1.5 cm thick and roughly 2×6 cm in size. Cutting them too thin can cause them to break apart, so aim for a moderate thickness for the best texture.
Step 7
Add the drained, sliced onions to the remaining sauce and mix well to complete the sauce mixture.
Step 8
In a large bowl, combine the cut acorn jelly, the prepared lettuce, and the cucumber that was lightly tossed in sauce. Pour all the remaining sauce over the ingredients.
Step 9
Gently mix everything together using your hands or a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Be careful not to mash the ingredients. Ensuring the sauce is evenly distributed is key.
Step 10
For added color and a touch of freshness, you can include thinly julienned red chili pepper and carrot. (This step is optional, and you can add other vegetables according to your preference.)
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle a little more sesame seeds on top. Your visually appealing and deliciously seasoned acorn jelly salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
