Recipe

Wash fresh bigeumcho spinach thoroughly and remove all moisture completely. Place in a mixing bowl.
Add finely chopped green onion and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
Season with salt, then drizzle with sesame oil. Add a small amount of MSG for extra savoriness if desired.
Add a small amount of corn syrup to balance the spinach’s bitterness and enhance shine.
Gently mix in red pepper powder until just enough color appears, then lightly toss to evenly distribute the dressing.

Add washed raw spinach to a bowl with green onion and minced garlic.
Season with salt, sesame oil, red pepper powder, and optionally MSG.
Add a touch of corn syrup for shine and sweetness, then gently toss to combine.

Cooking tips

Avoid pressing too hard on the spinach as it may release a strong grassy odor; gently handle with fingertips.
Adding a small amount of corn syrup helps neutralize the natural bitterness and gives the salad a glossy, appetizing sheen.
