Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make a delicious Cheongpomuk salad that’s wonderfully soft and delightfully springy! You’ll be amazed at how a simple side dish can be so satisfying.
Step 2
Cut the Cheongpomuk into bite-sized pieces. First, slice the Cheongpomuk lengthwise in half, and then cut each half crosswise into 2-3 pieces. You can cut them smaller if preferred, especially for children or the elderly. Feel free to adjust the shape to your liking.
Step 3
Blanch the prepared Cheongpomuk in boiling water for just about 1 to 2 minutes, or until it becomes slightly translucent. Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become mushy. It’s done when it starts to look clear.
Step 4
Immediately after blanching, rinse the Cheongpomuk under cold running water. This step is crucial for maintaining its wonderfully springy and chewy texture.
Step 5
Drain the Cheongpomuk thoroughly after rinsing. Excess water can dilute the dressing and make the salad watery. Gently press the Cheongpomuk with your hands to remove as much water as possible.
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the delicious dressing. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced scallions, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 0.5 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Whisk them together until well combined. Measurements are approximate and can be adjusted to your taste. A standard Korean soup spoon is used for measuring.
Step 7
Crumble 1 sheet of roasted seaweed into the dressing. The nutty aroma of the seaweed will beautifully complement the Cheongpomuk.
Step 8
Add the drained Cheongpomuk to the bowl with the dressing and crumbled seaweed.
Step 9
Gently toss everything together, being careful not to break the Cheongpomuk. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Your delicious Cheongpomuk salad is now ready!
Step 10
This soft and delightful Cheongpomuk salad with seaweed is a crowd-pleaser, loved by all ages! It’s a perfect side dish for any meal or a healthy choice for your diet. Enjoy your delicious creation!
