Scallion Salad: The Perfect Partner for Pork
‘Scallion Salad’ Golden Recipe: Eliminate Pork Greasiness
Introducing a magical ‘Scallion Salad’ that enhances the flavor of pork while cutting through its richness. Its crisp texture and sweet, sour, and spicy dressing create the perfect harmony with any pork dish.
Main Ingredients- 4 stalks of scallions (choose fresh and plump ones)
- 1/3 onion (thinly sliced)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the scallions thoroughly, pat them dry, and cut them into approximately 2-2.5 inch (5-7 cm) lengths. Peel the onion and slice it into very thin strips. Set these prepared ingredients aside.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing for the scallion salad. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. This forms the base of our sweet and sour flavor.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, leveled off, for sweetness. The key is to not make it too sweet, so feel free to adjust to your taste. Then, add 3 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) for a pleasant spiciness and vibrant color.
Step 4
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, lightly crushed, for a nutty aroma, and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its fragrance.
Step 5
Add the prepared sliced scallions and onions to the dressing bowl. Gently mix everything together with your hands until the dressing is evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scallions mushy. Transfer the finished scallion salad to a serving plate.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to enjoy this fantastic scallion salad! It pairs perfectly with grilled pork belly, pork neck, or any other pork dish. Serve it alongside your favorite grilled pork for a delightful contrast.
Step 7
Take a generous portion of the scallion salad and wrap it up with your grilled pork. The crisp texture and the balanced sweet, sour, and spicy dressing will cut through the richness of the pork, making it feel like you’re tasting a whole new dish. With this flavor combination, you’ll find yourself devouring pork endlessly!
