Kim Dae-seok's Acorn Jelly Cold Soup

Reviving hardened acorn jelly from the fridge by gently reheating it, then serving it in a refreshing bowl with perilla oil and spicy kimchi

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.
