Main Ingredients- 1 pack (approx. 200-300g) prepared green onion salad strips
- 2-3 Tbsp ‘Yo-ri-jaeng-i Mab Jjining’ (Spicy Seasoning) (adjust to taste)
- 1-2 tsp Korean anchovy sauce (for added umami)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the green onion salad strips. You can use the ones you received as a service when buying meat from the butcher, or conveniently buy pre-cut ones from the supermarket. Place the green onion strips in a bowl for mixing. If the strips are too long, cutting them into 3-4 bite-sized pieces will make them easier to eat. The key is to maintain the crispiness of the green onions.
Step 2
Next, evenly sprinkle the ‘Yo-ri-jaeng-i Mab Jjining’ over the green onions. Mab Jjining is a special sauce that adds spiciness and a savory depth. Add about 2-3 tablespoons. It’s best to start with a smaller amount and gradually add more while tasting, adjusting to your preferred level of spiciness and seasoning. This seasoning will elevate the flavor of the green onions.
Step 3
Now it’s time for the key to the savory flavor: the anchovy sauce. Anchovy sauce provides a deeper, richer taste than regular soy sauce, enhancing the overall flavor of the salad. Drizzle about half a turn to one full turn of anchovy sauce (approximately 1-2 teaspoons). Be careful not to add too much, as it can become too salty. The subtle umami from the anchovy sauce also cuts through the richness of the meat, creating a fantastic pairing.
Step 4
Finally, gently toss the green onions with your hands to evenly coat them with all the seasonings. Be careful not to squeeze too hard, as this can diminish the crispiness of the green onions. The trick is to mix them gently. Once the seasonings are well combined and lightly coated, your delicious green onion salad is ready! Serve it immediately with your favorite grilled meats for the best experience.
