Main Ingredients- Fresh Minari (Water Parsley) 70g
- Chewy Prepared Dried Shredded Squids 70g
- 1 small Onion
- A bit of Carrot
Seasoning Mix- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tsp Snow Crab Soy Sauce (for depth of flavor)
- 3 Tbsp Plum Extract

- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tsp Snow Crab Soy Sauce (for depth of flavor)
- 3 Tbsp Plum Extract

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the fresh minari several times under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Gently squeeze out excess water with your hands. Cut the minari into approximately 4cm lengths, suitable for eating.
Step 2
To achieve a pleasant chewy texture, briefly blanch the dried shredded squids in boiling water. Be careful not to over-blanch, as they can become tough. After blanching, rinse them under cold water, squeeze out any remaining water, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. (Tip: Blanching for just 10-20 seconds in steaming boiling water works well.)
Step 3
Thinly slice the carrot into matchsticks. Slice the onion similarly. Combine the prepared minari, dried shredded squids, carrot, and onion in a mixing bowl. (Tip: Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, like cucumber or bell peppers, for added variety and flavor.)
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the delicious seasoning. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, fish sauce, snow crab soy sauce, and plum extract until well combined. Pour this seasoning mixture over the ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together with your hands, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Avoid overmixing to maintain the texture.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds over the salad for a nutty aroma and delightful finish. Your fragrant and flavorful Minari and Dried Shredded Squids Salad is now ready! It makes a wonderful side dish or a perfect accompaniment to drinks.
