Chives Salad Main Ingredients- 220g fresh chives
- A pinch of baking soda for washing
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully inspect and trim the chives. Remove any wilted, mushy, or yellowed leaves to ensure you are using only fresh chives.
Step 2
If the chives are too long, cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) long. Place the cut chives in a large bowl. Add a pinch of baking soda to some water, gently swish the chives around to clean them thoroughly, then rinse under cold running water. Drain them well, shaking off excess water. (You can also let them drain in a colander.)
Step 3
Transfer the cleaned and drained chives to a mixing bowl. Add all the prepared seasoning ingredients: gochugaru, fish sauce, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Gently toss and mix everything together with your hands until the chives are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the chives mushy. This quick and fragrant chives salad will be ready in no time!
Step 4
Arrange the nicely mixed chives salad onto a serving plate. This vibrant and flavorful side dish is now ready to be enjoyed. It’s delicious served immediately, or you can let it sit for a short while to allow the flavors to meld.
