Cooking tips

  • Use young or small-sized lettuce for less bitterness and a tender texture—ideal for this salad.
  • Soaking lettuce in vinegar water for 5 minutes effectively kills bacteria and removes pesticide residues.
  • Do not grind sesame seeds completely; crushing them only halfway preserves their nutty aroma.
  • Avoid pressing too hard when mixing—overhandling will kill the lettuce’s freshness and release a strong raw vegetable smell.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a spicy, tangy, and fresh vegetable side dish to pair with grilled meat.
  • People wanting a crisp, cool, and appetite-awakening side dish.
  • Beginners needing a quick 5-minute recipe for fast, easy cooking.
