Ingredients- 100g Byurok Namul (Spring Greens)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the Byurok Namul. Rinse it thoroughly under cold running water to remove any soil or debris. Trim off any wilted leaves or tough stems for a cleaner, more pleasant texture.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add about 0.5 tsp of salt to the boiling water. Carefully add the prepared Byurok Namul and blanch for approximately 2 minutes. Be mindful not to overcook, as it can become too soft.
Step 3
Immediately after blanching, drain the Byurok Namul and rinse it well under cold running water. This step is crucial to stop the cooking process and preserve its crisp texture.
Step 4
Gently squeeze the excess water from the blanched Byurok Namul. Use your hands to press out the water, but avoid squeezing too hard, which could mush the delicate greens.
Step 5
Place the drained Byurok Namul into a mixing bowl. A wider bowl will make it easier to toss and coat evenly with the dressing.
Step 6
Now, let’s add the seasoning! To the bowl, add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. Gently toss everything together with your hands until the greens are well coated. Your refreshing and flavorful Byurok Namul salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
