Main Ingredients
- 1 Onion
- 1 Apple
- 50g Chives
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Peel and thoroughly wash the onion. Then, slice it into thin strips about 0.3cm thick. Slicing them thinly is important for the best texture, as thicker slices might not be as pleasant.
Step 2
Wash the apple under running water, remove the core, and then slice it into thin strips, similar in thickness to the onion (about 0.3cm). The crispness of the apple will blend beautifully with the onion for an even more delicious result.
Step 3
Wash the fresh chives, pat them dry, and chop them into approximately 3cm lengths. The fragrant aroma of the chives will enhance the overall flavor profile.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the sliced onion, apple, and chives. Add 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp maesil extract for a touch of sweetness, 1 Tbsp sesame oil for richness, and finally, 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Gently toss everything together with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this can bring out a raw flavor; a gentle mix is key.
Step 5
Transfer the well-mixed, delicious onion and apple salad to your serving dish. The vibrant colors will make your table setting even more appealing.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a little extra toasted sesame seeds on top for added nuttiness and texture. Your crisp, sweet, and tangy Onion and Apple Salad is now ready! It’s delicious served immediately, or you can chill it in the refrigerator for a short while before enjoying.
