- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp Red pepper flakes (Gochugaru)
- 1/3 Tbsp Plum extract (Maesil balhyo-aek)

- 1 1/3 Tbsp Anchovy sauce (Myeolchi-aekjeot)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim off any cotyledons or wilted parts attached to the winter greens and clean the roots. Rinse the greens thoroughly under running water multiple times to ensure they are free from any soil or debris.
Step 2
After washing, place the winter greens in a salad spinner to remove excess water. Using a salad spinner effectively removes moisture, keeping the salad crisp and fresh. (If you don’t have a salad spinner, you can gently squeeze out the water by hand.)
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the drained winter greens. Then, add all the seasoning ingredients: anchovy sauce, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and plum extract.
Step 4
Gently toss and mix the greens with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this can bruise the greens. The key is to mix gently.
Step 5
Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top, and your delicious and visually appealing winter greens salad is ready!
Step 6
Tip: If you prefer a cleaner flavor, you can substitute the anchovy sauce with Korean soup soy sauce (guk-ganjang). Feel free to adjust the seasoning ratios to your personal taste.
Step 7
Hear the delightful crunch! This winter greens salad is bursting with flavor.
Step 8
Serve this winter greens salad generously over a bowl of warm, freshly steamed rice and mix it all together for an incredibly satisfying meal. You’ll find yourself finishing a bowl of rice in no time! Why not embrace the vibrant, fresh taste of early spring with this delightful winter greens salad? ^^
