Kim Dae-seok's Pumpkin Leaf Side Dish

A seasonal side dish made by briefly blanching pumpkin leaves after peeling off the tough stems, then tossing them with a savory mixture of doenjang and kanaeri-jang.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not over-blanch the pumpkin leaves—more than 1 minute will make them tough. Timing must be precise, and immediate cooling in cold water ensures tenderness.
  • Instead of adding seasonings directly to the greens, mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl first. This prevents uneven seasoning and ensures even distribution.
  • For a spicier kick, add a small amount of gochujang to the dressing for a delicious variation.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy pumpkin leaves in a new way beyond wrapping, as a soft and flavorful side dish.
  • People who prefer simple, hearty, and healthy seasonal side dishes with a rich, savory doenjang flavor.
