Ingredients needed 2 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Do not boil the hardened jelly; instead, turn off the heat right after boiling and let it steam covered for 10 minutes so it gradually absorbs heat—this prevents breaking apart and restores its full chewy texture.
- Lightly seasoning the acorn jelly with salt and perilla oil beforehand helps avoid the issue of the jelly tasting bland when soaked in broth.
- For a richer, more refined taste, grind the sesame seeds finely using a mortar and pestle or by hand rather than sprinkling them whole—this ensures their deep, nutty aroma blends evenly throughout the broth.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a refreshing, icy, tangy acorn jelly cold soup on hot days.
- People wanting to revive hard, refrigerated acorn jelly into a soft, smooth texture.
- Anyone looking for a light, satisfying snack or a simple meal.
