Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the shredded dried pollack and red onion. This recipe is based on Sumi’s Side Dish shredded dried pollack salad, with the addition of crisp onion to make it even more delicious.
Step 2
Wash the red onion thoroughly and slice it thinly into strips. The onion’s pungent flavor and crisp texture will enrich the taste of the pollack salad.
Step 3
To make it easier to eat, cut the shredded dried pollack into 2-3 cm pieces with scissors. Then, use a spray bottle to lightly moisten the pollack. This will soften the pollack, allowing it to absorb the seasoning better and improve its chewy texture.
Step 4
Let the moistened shredded dried pollack sit for a moment to fully absorb the moisture. After about 5-10 minutes, the pollack will become soft and moist, ready for seasoning.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine 1.5 Tbsp gochujang, 1.5 Tbsp gochugaru, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Mix well to create a delicious seasoning sauce.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine the softened shredded dried pollack, the sliced red onion, and the prepared seasoning sauce. Get ready to mix everything together.
Step 7
Now, gently toss and mix all the ingredients and the seasoning with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can break apart the pollack. Toss gently to ensure the seasoning coats everything evenly. Your delicious Sumi’s Side Dish style shredded dried pollack salad is now complete!
Step 8
Adding onion can sometimes make the salad a bit watery and dilute the flavor. If this happens, adjust the taste by adding 1 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp plum extract to enhance the flavor profile. Feel free to adjust according to your preference.
