Main Ingredients- 1 block Acorn Jelly (approx. 300-400g)
- 5 Lettuce leaves
- 3-5 Perilla leaves
- 1/4 Onion
- 1/4 Carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The acorn jelly purchased from traditional markets, rather than regular supermarkets, is larger in size. It doesn’t harden even when refrigerated and remains soft, allowing you to fully appreciate the 100% acorn flavor.
Step 2
Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Arrange them neatly on a serving plate. Slice the acorn jelly into thick pieces, about 1cm thick, and place them on top of the lettuce. Cutting it too thinly can cause it to crumble when eaten and be difficult to pick up with chopsticks, so aim for a substantial thickness.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning. In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp sesame oil. Mix them well until evenly combined. Once the sauce is mixed, finely julienne the carrot, onion, and perilla leaves and add them to the seasoning. Finally, sprinkle in 2 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds for an added nutty aroma.
Step 4
Generously spoon the well-prepared seasoning over the acorn jelly, and your appetizing acorn jelly salad will be complete! It’s incredibly simple to make, healthy, and delicious. Why not try this wonderful acorn jelly salad today for a nutritious and tasty meal?

Presenting the acorn jelly this way, with the vegetables and jelly arranged separately, not only looks more appealing but also makes it easier for everyone to serve themselves and enjoy the flavors. While you can mix everything together, today we opted for a more visually elegant presentation. It’s perfect for special occasions too!
