Main Ingredients

  • 500g preserved garlic scapes

Seasoning Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp gochujang (generous)
  • 2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 3 Tbsp braising soy sauce (jorim ganjang)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Here are the preserved garlic scapes taken from the refrigerator. (If you have garlic scapes preserved in soy sauce brine as Jangajji, they are already a great side dish on their own, but making them into a seasoned dish like today is also a unique treat!)

Step 1

Step 2

First, cut the preserved garlic scapes into bite-sized pieces (about 4-5 cm long). Then, soak them in cold water for about 2-3 hours to remove the saltiness. Changing the water once halfway through will help even more.

Step 2

Step 3

Drain the water from the garlic scapes or gently squeeze out the excess water. *Important Tip: Taste one piece of garlic scape to check the saltiness. If it still tastes too salty, soak it in cold water for another 1-2 hours to adjust the salt level.

Step 3

Step 4

Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning! In a bowl, combine gochujang, gochugaru, braising soy sauce, minced garlic, oligosaccharide, sugar, toasted sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the seasoning paste. *Sweetness Adjustment Tip: Adjust the amount of oligosaccharide and sugar according to your preference. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more sugar or oligosaccharide.

Step 4

Step 5

Add the prepared seasoning paste and toasted sesame seeds generously to the drained garlic scapes.

Step 5

Step 6

Gently mix everything together so the seasoning coats the garlic scapes evenly. (Since this is a side dish meant to be stored in the refrigerator for a long time, I intentionally omitted minced green onions, which can spoil easily. This ensures a clean and refreshing taste.)
