1 tablespoon gochugaru

2 tablespoons gochujang

1 tablespoon jochung

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Recipe

Remove 200g of well-aged garlic chive pickles from the brine and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture. Place in a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon gochugaru and 2 tablespoons gochujang to the garlic chives.
Add 1 tablespoon jochung to enhance glossiness and sweetness.
Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds evenly over the mixture.
Mix thoroughly by hand until the seasoning is evenly distributed on the surface of the chives.

Place drained garlic chive pickles in a bowl.
Add gochugaru, gochujang, jochung, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds according to the specified amounts.
Mix by hand until the seasonings are evenly distributed—done.

Cooking tips

If jochung is unavailable, substitute with honey or corn syrup to achieve sweetness and gloss.
Since the pickles are already seasoned in soy sauce, no additional salt or soy sauce is needed—just enhance umami with gochujang.
Enjoy immediately for a fresh taste, or chill in the refrigerator for a crisp texture that lasts longer—ideal as a hearty side dish.
