Recipe

Cooking tips

  • For bitter greens like castor aralia shoots or jujube sprouts, blanch for about 1 minute 30 seconds to retain crispness and reduce bitterness appropriately.
  • Adding a small amount of ssamjang to the gochujang dressing softens its sharpness and adds a deeper, richer flavor.
  • Rinse blanched greens under cold water at least twice to fully cool them down, ensuring vibrant green color retention.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy seasonal bitter spring greens.
  • People looking to savor fresh castor aralia shoots in a crisp salad form instead of pickled.
