Main Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh dill (approx. 100g)
- 5 Tbsp soy sauce

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making this aromatic spring dill seasoning sauce. This sauce alone will elevate any dish!
Step 2
First, we’ll clean the fresh dill thoroughly. Fill a large bowl with plenty of water. Gently grasp the dill by its root end and swish it around, like running your fingers through hair, to wash away any dirt or debris from the roots.
Step 3
To enhance the fragrant aroma, slightly press down on the dill roots with the back of a knife or your finger. Next, chop the dill stems into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 cm long. Finely chop both the roots and stems together.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the cleaned and chopped dill with 5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for that nutty richness.
Step 5
Gently mix all the ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as we want to keep the dill fresh and vibrant. Once everything is evenly distributed, your flavorful seasoning sauce is ready.
Step 6
Voila! Your aromatic dill seasoning sauce is complete, bursting with the fresh, invigorating scent of dill. Brighten up your table with the essence of spring captured in this wonderful sauce.
Step 7
Here’s a delightful way to enjoy this tasty dill sauce! Spoon a generous amount over a bowl of warm rice, then wrap it up with crispy gim (seaweed) like a ssam (wrap). You’ll experience a wonderfully rich flavor. It’s also fantastic mixed into bibimbap or used as a dressing for various seasoned vegetable dishes.
Step 8
Congratulations! You’ve successfully made a wonderfully aromatic and savory spring dill seasoning sauce. Enjoy your delicious creation!
