Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Feeling a bit sluggish this spring? Let’s invigorate our health with a delicious Acorn Jelly Salad! I’ll guide you through this easy-to-make, seasonal recipe. First, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go!
Step 2
Using a special jelly slicer or a sharp knife, cut the acorn jelly into long, bite-sized strips. Aim for a thickness that provides a satisfying chew, allowing you to fully appreciate the jelly’s subtle, earthy flavor with every bite.
Step 3
Transfer the sliced acorn jelly to a large mixing bowl. Begin by drizzling in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Gently toss the jelly to coat each piece. This step not only prevents the jelly from sticking together but also infuses it with a wonderful nutty aroma, enhancing the overall taste.
Step 4
Now, let’s add the fresh elements for vibrant flavor. Finely chop the scallions. For the seasoned laver (gim), cut it into thin, uniform strips. Adding the crisp laver strips will elevate the salad with a delightful savory crunch and rich umami.
Step 5
It’s time to season the salad! Add the chopped scallions and julienned seasoned laver to the bowl with the acorn jelly. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Remember that seasoned laver can be salty, so adjust the salt accordingly to achieve the perfect balance.
Step 6
With all the ingredients combined, it’s time to mix. Gently toss everything together using a spatula or your hands. Be careful not to overmix or press too hard, as this can break the delicate acorn jelly. The goal is to evenly distribute the seasonings without damaging the jelly’s texture.
Step 7
Voila! Your refreshing and healthy Acorn Jelly Salad is ready to be enjoyed. The harmonious blend of fragrant sesame oil, zesty garlic, and savory seaweed is guaranteed to awaken your taste buds. Serve it alongside a warm bowl of rice for a truly satisfying and nutritious meal. Enjoy!
