Don’t just peel it and eat! (Beep beep!) We’re sharing a special method to wash Hallabong that completely eradicates pesticides! Brought to you by Man-geu Recipe, your source for all recipes in the world.
Essential Ingredients- 1 Hallabong (a type of citrus fruit)
- Coarse salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hallabong, a specialty of Jeju Island, may have trace amounts of pesticides on its peel. Therefore, thorough washing before consumption is crucial. Pay extra attention if you plan to cook with the peel or juice it.
Step 2
Prepare your Hallabong for washing. Sprinkle a small amount of coarse salt onto the peel. Then, using a soft vegetable brush or clean hands, gently scrub the entire peel of the Hallabong. The coarse salt acts as a natural abrasive, effectively removing surface contaminants and any residual pesticides. Once scrubbed clean, rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 3
Here are some tips for picking the best Hallabong! Generally, Hallabong with smooth, thin skin tend to be sweeter and tastier. Conversely, those with thick, bumpy skin, or skin that is loose or wrinkled, might be more sour or less flavorful. Also, very recently harvested Hallabong, while fragrant, can sometimes have a raw taste and lack depth. Choosing Hallabong that has undergone a slight resting period can offer a richer, more intense flavor.
