Seasoning- 1 Tbsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 2 Tbsp red chili paste (reduce slightly if you prefer less sweetness)
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup or rice syrup (sweetness can be adjusted)
- A pinch of sesame seeds (for added nutty flavor)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, we’ll lightly rinse the pickled garlic scapes to remove some of the saltiness. Gently rinse the pickled garlic scapes under running water. Be careful not to wash them for too long, as this can remove too much flavor! After rinsing, drain them thoroughly in a colander. This step is crucial for the seasoning to adhere well.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the chili peppers that will add spiciness and color. You can use either red or green chili peppers. Remove the seeds and slice them into bite-sized pieces. If you slice them too thinly, they might lose their satisfying crunch, so aim for a moderate thickness.
Step 3
It’s time to cut the star of our delicious salad: the pickled garlic scapes! Cut them into pieces about 4 cm long. If they are too long, they can be difficult to eat, and if they are too short, they might lose their crispness. Cutting them into uniform lengths will make the dish look even more appealing.
Step 4
Now, let’s bring all the ingredients together and mix them into a flavorful dish! In a large bowl, combine the sliced chili peppers, the drained pickled garlic scapes, red chili powder, red chili paste, corn syrup, and sesame seeds for that nutty aroma. Gently toss everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this might mash the garlic scapes. The finished pickled garlic scape salad is delicious right away, or you can let it sit in the refrigerator for a while for the flavors to meld even further – it will be even tastier!
