Main Ingredients- 150g Acorn Jelly
- 3 Tbsp Perilla Seed Powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the 150g of acorn jelly into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5cm in size. Cutting them into uniform pieces is important for even seasoning and makes them easy for everyone, including children, to enjoy.
Step 2
To enhance the chewy texture, briefly blanch the cut acorn jelly in boiling water with a pinch of salt for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to over-blanch, as this can make the jelly mushy.
Step 3
Immediately after blanching, drain the acorn jelly and rinse it quickly under cold running water. This helps maintain its firm, chewy texture and makes it easier to remove excess water. Drain thoroughly in a colander.
Step 4
Place the drained acorn jelly in a bowl. Add 1 tsp of sugar, 1 pinch of salt, and a generous 3 Tbsp of perilla seed powder. Gently toss everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed. This simple yet flavorful acorn jelly salad is now ready to be enjoyed. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preference.
