Super Simple Appetizing Seasoned Scallions Made with 100g of Scallions and Gochujang Seasoning

Using seasonal scallions, which have lost their spiciness and gained sweetness, you can make a super simple gochujang-seasoned dish to stimulate your appetite. According to the Ttangkkeut Maeul Im Seonsaeng video, the young and sweet scallions of this season allow you to best experience their unique sweetness when eaten raw and seasoned.

Gochujang Seasoning Ratio Based on 100g of Scallions

Prepare the seasoning based on 100g of scallions. The basic composition of the seasoning is 3 tablespoons of gochujang, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of brewed soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of honey. In the video, it is recommended to adjust the amount of honey depending on the sweetness of the gochujang; the presenter in the video used 1 teaspoon (1/3 tablespoon) of honey.

The key element that enhances the flavor here is white balsamic. Adding 1/2 tablespoon of white balsamic instead of regular balsamic vinegar has the effect of making the flavor come alive. If you do not have white balsamic, cooking is sufficiently possible with just vinegar. Finally, finish by adding about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of ground sesame seeds (sesame salt). At this time, it is better to grind the sesame seeds into moderate particles, as grinding them too finely may make the appearance messy.

Scallion Preparation and Completion of the Seasoned Dish

Cut the prepared scallions into short pieces of about 3cm for easy eating. Cutting them when the scallions are thin and young provides a good texture and makes them convenient to eat. Once the seasoning is ready, add the sliced scallions and mix lightly. It is complete once the seasoning is evenly coated on the scallions.

The finished seasoned dish is best eaten immediately during this season when the sweetness of the scallions spreads. Once the scallions begin to turn spicy, the method can be modified by blanching them and seasoning them with seaweed or anchovy. The video explains that this seasoned dish can be used to mix with rice or served alongside other side dishes. If you want a more sour taste from the seasoning, you can increase the amount of vinegar to adjust to your personal taste.
