Chewy and Delicious Spicy Cockle Salad Recipe
Appetizing and Tangy Spicy Cockle Salad
Introducing a delicious side dish, Spicy Cockle Salad, where chewy cockles meet crisp vegetables, stimulating your appetite. With a simple recipe, you can enjoy restaurant-quality taste at home.
Main Ingredients- 1 bowl of pre-cooked Spicy Cockles (approx. 200-250g)
- Scallions or the white parts of green onions, about 50g (approx. 1/4 stalk)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly rinse the cockles under running water and drain them. Wash the scallions or green onions thoroughly, then finely chop them into 2-3 cm lengths. Place the chopped scallions together with the cockles in a mixing bowl. If using green onions, using the white parts will add extra crispness.
Step 2
Now, add all the seasoning ingredients to the bowl containing the cockles and scallions. Combine the soy sauce (or jin-ganjang), tuna extract, minced garlic, gochugaru, and sesame oil. Finally, sprinkle in a pinch of sesame seeds. Tuna extract adds umami, but if it’s not available, you can add a bit more soy sauce to adjust the taste.
Step 3
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands or a spatula until the seasoning is evenly distributed on the cockles and scallions. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this can break the cockles. Gently toss to combine for about 1 minute, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Transfer the deliciously seasoned Spicy Cockle Salad to a serving dish. It can be enjoyed immediately, or chilled in the refrigerator for a refreshing taste. This dish is excellent as a side for rice or as a simple appetizer with drinks. Enjoy your delicious Spicy Cockle Salad!
