Cooking tips 💡

• When slicing green onions, tilt the mandoline slightly and pull the knife straight through for even, clean cuts—like machine-sliced.
• The combination of plum syrup and freshly grated pear is essential for capturing the luxurious sweetness and smooth umami characteristic of restaurant-style pa jeolli.
• Be sure to remove all excess moisture from the green onions so the sauce adheres properly and doesn’t pool on top.
