Main Ingredients
- 10 stalks of fresh wild chives (including roots)
Seasoning Ingredients
- 7 Tbsp soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil (for nutty aroma)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for texture and flavor)
- 2 Tbsp water (to soften the sauce consistency)
- 7 Tbsp soy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil (for nutty aroma)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for texture and flavor)
- 2 Tbsp water (to soften the sauce consistency)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your fresh wild chives. Gently wash them under running water to remove any soil, especially around the roots. Trim off any tough root ends and lightly pat them dry.
Step 2
Now, let’s cut the clean wild chives into bite-sized pieces. To start, roughly chop the entire bunch in half to make them more manageable.
Step 3
Next, chop the wild chives according to your preference. For a more delicate flavor and texture, you can mince them finely. If you prefer a bit more chew, cut them into approximately 2cm (about 3/4 inch) lengths. No matter how you cut them, their wonderful aroma will shine through.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, let’s begin by making the sauce base. Add 7 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of water. This combination helps to dilute the soy sauce and create a smoother foundation for the seasoning.
Step 5
Now, add the remaining seasoning ingredients to the bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), 2 tablespoons of fragrant sesame oil, 0.5 tablespoon of pungent minced garlic, and finally, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Step 6
Add the chopped wild chives to the prepared sauce mixture. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the chives; a gentle mix is key to preserving their texture.
Step 7
And there you have it – a simple yet incredibly flavorful wild chive sauce! This sauce is perfect for mixing with warm rice, making a satisfying meal in no time. Whenever you need to reignite your appetite, give this recipe a try!
