Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the scallions under running water, trim off any roots, and gently pat them dry. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 5-7 cm long, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Maintaining the crispness of the fresh scallions is key.
Step 2
Add all the seasoning ingredients to the bowl with the scallions: 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sesame oil, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, a pinch of sugar, and toasted sesame seeds. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your preference and the quantity of scallions. If you like a touch of sweetness, feel free to add a little more sugar.
Step 3
Gently toss the scallions with the seasonings using your hands until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the scallions mushy. The goal is to lightly coat them to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. Serve immediately in a dish for a delightful side. Enjoy!
