Main Ingredients- 200g fresh gochut leaves
- A little water (for blanching)
- 1 tsp coarse salt (for blanching)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the fresh gochut leaves. First, remove any thick stems or wilted leaves. Wash them thoroughly several times under running water to remove any dirt or dust. Shake off excess water.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil with 1 tsp of coarse salt. Once boiling, add the prepared gochut leaves and blanch for a very short time, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to over-blanch, as they can become mushy. Immediately rinse the blanched leaves in cold water to cool them down and drain them thoroughly by squeezing out the excess water. (Tip: Rinsing in cold water helps maintain a vibrant green color and a crisp texture!)
Step 3
Place the squeezed gochut leaves in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce (or fish sauce), plum extract, fine gochugaru, finely chopped Cheongyang and red chili peppers, toasted sesame seeds, and black pepper. You can adjust the quantities of these seasonings to your preference.
Step 4
Now, gently mix and toss everything together with your hands, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the gochut leaves. Once well combined, your delicious gochut-leaf salad is ready! Serve it over warm rice for a delightful meal.
