#SpringSeasonalDish #BigBatchSideDish #WildChiveRecipe #HowToMakeDallaeMuchim #PerfectPairing with Yukjeon & Samgyeopsal! Aromatic and Zesty Wild Chive Salad
Introducing Dallae Muchim, a delightful spring seasonal dish! Its refreshing, slightly pungent flavor with a spicy and tangy kick makes it a wonderful side for plain rice, but it truly shines when paired with rich dishes like Yukjeon (Korean beef pancakes) or grilled Samgyeopsal (pork belly). It acts similarly to Pajeori (scallion salad), cutting through richness while adding its unique aromatic fragrance for a perfect harmony. This recipe is incredibly simple to make with minimal seasoning, making it accessible for everyone. Elevate your meals with this fragrant taste of spring!
Main Ingredient- 1 bunch fresh wild chives (Dallae)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh wild chives under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Gently pat them dry and then chop them into segments of about 3-4 cm. Cutting them too short might make them difficult to eat with meat, so aim for a bite-sized length.
Step 2
Transfer the chopped wild chives into a mixing bowl. Now, all that’s left is to add the incredibly simple seasoning and mix – your delicious Dallae Muchim will be ready. Excited?
Step 3
Add all the seasoning ingredients to the bowl: red chili flakes, minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, plum extract, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Gently toss and mix everything together with your hands until the chives are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the chives mushy.
Step 4
Here is your beautifully seasoned Dallae Muchim. This itself makes for a fantastic side dish for rice. Placing it on top of warm rice and mixing it in is incredibly delicious.
Step 5
Your Dallae Muchim is complete, brimming with the fragrant aroma of wild chives, and boasting a perfect balance of spicy, savory, and tangy flavors! It’s especially wonderful when served alongside rich dishes like Yukjeon or Samgyeopsal, as it cuts through the greasiness and enhances the overall flavor. This is the ultimate spring seasonal dish. Make it today!
