Main Ingredients- 1 bunch of spring dill (cleaned and trimmed)
- 1 red chili pepper
Seasoning Sauce Ingredients- 2 Tbsp anchovy sauce (fish sauce)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce (regular)
- 2 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp anchovy sauce (fish sauce)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6 Tbsp soy sauce (regular)
- 2 Tbsp plum extract (or syrup)
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the seasoning sauce. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of anchovy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir them together thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. This step is crucial for developing the savory depth of the sauce.
Step 2
Wash the main ingredients, the dill and the red chili pepper, thoroughly under running water. Make sure to rinse the dill well, especially around the root, to remove any dirt.
Step 3
Finely mince the red chili pepper after removing the seeds. For the dill, chop the root end a bit more finely so it absorbs the sauce well, and roughly chop the leafy parts. This creates a pleasant texture contrast.
Step 4
To the bowl with the dissolved sugar and anchovy sauce, add the remaining seasoning ingredients: 6 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of plum extract, 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds, and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Whisk everything together until well combined, creating a delicious and aromatic sauce. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Gently place the prepared dill and minced red chili pepper into the flavorful sauce. The key is to preserve the fresh, vibrant taste of the ingredients.
Step 6
Now, carefully mix the dill and red chili pepper into the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated. Be gentle to avoid crushing the delicate dill fronds. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
Your delicious dill sauce is ready! Serve the desired amount in a small bowl. This sauce is wonderful served with warm rice or alongside crispy roasted seaweed for an authentic taste of spring.
