brown sugar half tablespoon

dried anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon

sesame oil 1 tablespoon

minced garlic half tablespoon

salt 2 pinches

toasted sesame seeds 1 tablespoon

Recipe

Wash the chives thoroughly under running water, trim the ends, and cut them into even pieces about 6–7 cm long.
Cut half an onion into thin, fine strips so they won’t overpower the chives.
Place the prepared chives and sliced onion in a wide bowl and gently mix together.
Add the red pepper powder, brown sugar, dried anchovy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and toasted sesame seeds one by one.
Gently toss with your fingertips, being careful not to bruise the chives or bring out their raw aroma.
Taste and adjust seasoning, then add the final 2 pinches of salt to balance the flavor, finishing with a light stir.

Cut chives into appropriate lengths and slice the onion thinly.
Add all vegetables and seasonings to a bowl.
Gently mix without bringing out the raw smell, then finish with a pinch of salt.

Cooking tips

Avoid pressing too hard when mixing the chives, as this can release a strong raw odor; instead, gently toss as if incorporating air.
For authentic autumn-style side dishes, include anchovy sauce for depth of flavor. If you prefer a tangier taste, feel free to add a splash of vinegar to suit your preference.
