Main Ingredients- 1 bunch Wild Chives
Seasoning Ingredients- 10 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 6 Tbsp Perilla Oil
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (whole or crushed)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 10 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 6 Tbsp Perilla Oil
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (whole or crushed)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the wild chives. Remove any soil from the roots. Gently peel off the outer skin of the white bulbous part (the ‘head’). This helps remove impurities and results in a cleaner dish.
Step 2
Trim off any tough or dirty parts from the top of the white bulb. We want to use only the tender, delicious parts of the chives.
Step 3
Rinse the prepared wild chives thoroughly under cold running water. Make sure to wash them multiple times to remove any remaining soil or grit.
Step 4
Once drained, finely chop the wild chives. Cutting them into short pieces will enhance their natural aroma and make them easier to mix with rice. You can also lightly mince them with a knife if you prefer.
Step 5
Place the finely chopped wild chives into a clean, dry airtight container. Storing them this way will help keep them fresh for longer.
Step 6
Now, let’s add the delicious seasonings! Start by adding 10 tablespoons of soy sauce to the chopped chives. You can use regular soy sauce for a cleaner taste or soup soy sauce for a deeper flavor.
Step 7
Add 6 tablespoons of perilla oil to enhance the fragrant chives and the overall flavor profile. Perilla oil is a key ingredient for this dressing, so don’t be shy!
Step 8
Stir in 2 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) for a touch of spiciness. You can adjust the amount or omit it if you’re cooking for children.
Step 9
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, either whole or crushed, for a nutty flavor. Crushing the sesame seeds slightly will release a richer aroma.
Step 10
Finally, add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to add a subtle sweetness. You can adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Step 11
Once all the seasoning ingredients are in, gently mix everything together with chopsticks or a spatula until the chives and seasonings are well combined. The nutty aroma of the perilla oil will rise, making your mouth water! Your delicious wild chive soy sauce dressing is now complete. Serve it immediately by mixing it with rice, or store it in the refrigerator to enjoy for days to come!
