Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the sea lettuce thoroughly under cold running water to remove any sand or impurities. Drain it well in a colander. Ensuring the seaweed is well-drained is crucial to prevent the salad from becoming watery and diluted.
Step 2
Peel the radish and pear, then julienne them into thin strips. The radish will provide a satisfying crunch, while the pear will add a natural sweetness and delicate aroma, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the salad.
Step 3
Let’s prepare the refreshing dressing! In a bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Then, add the minced garlic juice and minced ginger juice. These juices will enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients and add a pleasant depth of flavor. It’s best to use finely pureed or juiced garlic and ginger for a smooth consistency.
Step 4
Add the drained sea lettuce to the bowl with the seasoning. Gently toss with your hands until the seaweed is evenly coated. Next, add the julienned radish and pear to the bowl and mix everything together. This step ensures the crispness of the vegetables and the sweetness of the pear are beautifully incorporated into the seasoned seaweed.
Step 5
Finally, garnish with finely chopped Korean green chili peppers and red chili peppers for a pop of color and a hint of spice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a final flourish. Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your preference. Enjoy this fragrant and delicious Seaweed Salad as a delightful accompaniment to your meal!
