Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not add all the seasoning salt at once—add it gradually, one spoonful at a time, to adjust to your preferred taste.
  • Use mature plum syrup with longer aging for a less sharp acidity and deeper sweetness.
  • When mixing the lettuce, avoid pressing too hard to prevent releasing excessive raw aroma; instead, gently coat each leaf with the dressing.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy lettuce in a new way beyond wraps.
  • People looking to make a refreshing, tangy summer kimchi with tomatoes.
  • Anyone seeking a rich, thick-textured, appetite-awakening side dish.
