Cooking tips

  • Using seongcho (Namhaecho), a type of spinach that grows flat at the base, offers a much more satisfying crunch and sweeter taste than regular city-grown spinach.
  • Unlike scallion salad, which loses its freshness quickly after mixing, fresh spinach salad retains its crispness longer, making it ideal for preparing while grilling meat.
  • Lean cuts such as front shoulder, back shoulder, or loin work best with fresh spinach, offering a clean, balanced flavor compared to fatty cuts like belly or rib meat.
  • To achieve the characteristic savory depth of restaurant-style scallion salad, always use seasoned salt instead of regular salt.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a novel alternative to lettuce wraps or scallion salad when enjoying grilled meat.
  • People who want to enjoy spinach fresh, crisp, and sweet rather than blanched.
  • Those looking to make delicious use of lean, tricky-to-grill bulgogi-grade meat.
