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.
