Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding half a tablespoon of soy bean paste to the dressing gives a delicate umami richness that lingers pleasantly on the tongue without being overwhelming.
  • Handle lettuce and chives gently—over-tossing can bring out a strong grassy odor and crush the tender greens.
  • The salad releases moisture over time, so it’s best enjoyed immediately after preparation for optimal texture and freshness.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to quickly prepare a refreshing, tangy, and crunchy seasonal side dish when lacking appetite.
  • People seeking a quick, zesty vegetable side dish to pair with meat dishes or rice meals.
  • Anyone wanting to experience a deep, savory umami flavor in a homemade soy bean paste dressing.
