Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not over-blanch the bomdong (spring napa cabbage)—exceeding 1 minute and 30 seconds will cause it to lose its crisp texture.
  • Cooling immediately in cold water helps preserve the vibrant green color and prevents the bomdong (spring napa cabbage) from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust the final seasoning by tasting and adding an additional 1/3 tablespoon of doenjang if needed, depending on the saltiness of the paste used.
  • Lightly crush the toasted sesame seeds between your fingers before adding them for a richer, more aromatic flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a sweet and nutty seasonal side dish to stimulate appetite in spring.
  • Those wanting to enjoy bomdong (spring napa cabbage) in a fresh, crunchy salad style beyond pickled versions.
  • Those looking to make a home-style side dish with a rich, smooth doenjang base.
