Cooking tips 💡

• Adding vinegar and salt during blanching helps remove the sharp, pungent taste from garlic scapes.
• Avoid over-blanching—keeping it under 30 seconds preserves the crisp texture.
• Using store-bought vinegared gochujang sauce as a base makes seasoning easier and reduces the chance of failure.
