Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m sharing a super easy recipe using acorn jelly, known for its slightly bitter taste and chewy texture. It’s already delicious with just the sauce, but today we’ll be adding crisp cucumber for an even more delightful experience. You can easily make this on your own, so let’s get started!
Step 2
First, let’s make the key component: the sauce. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of clear stock (for a deep and rich flavor), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of gochugaru for a touch of spice, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to balance the flavors. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped green onion for aroma, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil for nuttiness, and a pinch of sesame seeds for garnish and added flavor. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the acorn jelly. Here’s a little tip to make it even softer and more palatable! You can either briefly blanch the acorn jelly in boiling water for about 1 minute, or pour hot boiling water over it and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. This process softens any firm parts of the jelly and also helps to mellow out any slight bitterness, resulting in a cleaner taste.
Step 4
Once softened, cut the acorn jelly into bite-sized pieces. Try not to cut them too thinly; pieces that are easy to pop into your mouth will absorb the sauce better and taste even more delicious.
Step 5
Arrange the cut acorn jelly in a serving dish. Thinly slice the cucumber and arrange it over the acorn jelly for a refreshing taste and a pleasant crunch. Finally, generously pour the prepared savory sauce over the acorn jelly and cucumber. Your delicious seasoned acorn jelly is now ready!
Step 6
Voila! Your seasoned acorn jelly is complete, featuring the delightful chewiness of the jelly, the crispness of the cucumber, and the irresistible savory sauce. It’s simple yet so wonderfully flavorful that you’ll find yourself reaching for more. Enjoy your meal!
