- Sesame Oil 1 Tbsp
- Vinegar 1 Tbsp (e.g., apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar)
- Plum Extract (Maesil Extract) 1 Tbsp

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently wash the fresh wild chives under running water. Submerge them and carefully swish them around with your hands or a soft brush to remove any soil or debris. Repeat this process several times to ensure they are thoroughly clean.
Step 2
Once washed, place the wild chives in a colander and let them drain naturally. Allowing excess water to drip away prevents the salad from becoming watery and diluted.
Step 3
Let’s prepare the flavorful seasoning for your Dollae Muchim! Start by adding 1 Tbsp of soy sauce to a mixing bowl.
Step 4
Next, add 2 Tbsp of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Feel free to increase this amount if you prefer a spicier kick.
Step 5
Pour in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma and flavor.
Step 6
Add 2 Tbsp of sesame seeds. For an even more intense nutty flavor, you can lightly crush or grind the sesame seeds before adding them.
Step 7
Add 1/2 Tbsp of sugar to balance the flavors with a touch of sweetness. Adjust the amount according to your personal preference.
Step 8
Now, add 1 Tbsp of vinegar for a pleasant tang and 1 Tbsp of plum extract for sweetness and depth. Whisk all the seasoning ingredients together thoroughly until well combined and the sauce is smooth.
Step 9
Once the wild chives have drained sufficiently, cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 to 2 inches long. This makes them easier to eat.
Step 10
For an intensified aroma and flavor of the wild chives, you can gently press down on the root end of the chives before cutting. This helps release their fragrance. (Optional step)
Step 11
Gently pour the prepared seasoning mixture over the cut wild chives. Toss everything together carefully to ensure the chives are evenly coated with the delicious dressing. Your Dollae Muchim is now ready!
Step 12
This vibrant Dollae Muchim is a wonderful accompaniment to warm rice, perfect for mixing in. It also serves as a refreshing alternative to green onions when enjoying grilled meats like pork belly, cutting through richness. You can also enjoy it wrapped in seaweed (gim) or mixed with a fried egg and a drizzle of perilla oil over rice for a delightful meal.
Step 13
Enjoy your flavorful spring meal with this delightful Dollae Muchim! Bon appétit!
