Ingredients- 3 Bellflower Roots (Doraji)
- 2 Steamed Ginseng Roots (Susam)
- 4 Dried Jujubes (Daechu)
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the bellflower roots and ginseng thoroughly and peel their skins.
Step 2
Thinly slice the prepared ginseng and bellflower roots into strips about 0.2 to 0.3 cm thick. Soak them in saltwater for 10 minutes to remove any bitterness.
Step 3
Do not wash the jujubes with water. Instead, gently wipe the outside of the dried jujubes with a damp kitchen towel. (Washing dried jujubes can make them absorb water and become too moist, affecting the texture of the salad.)
Step 4
Carefully cut around the pit of the jujube to remove it. Then, spread the jujube slices flat.
Step 5
Slice the spread jujubes thinly, similar to the bellflower roots and ginseng, about 0.2 to 0.3 cm thick.
Step 6
Drain the bellflower roots and ginseng that were soaked in saltwater. Pat them completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove all excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving the best texture and flavor.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine the dried bellflower roots, ginseng, and jujubes. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and gently toss everything together until well coated. The honey will sweeten the mixture and add a lovely gloss.
Step 8
Your nutritious steamed ginseng and bellflower root salad is ready! Enjoy this healthy and delicious dish.
