Kim Dae-seok's Pickled Scallions

A thoughtful side dish made by marinating blanched scallions in a specially prepared soy sauce mixture with sweet licorice and a touch of new sugar, aged for three days to preserve a crisp, refreshing texture.

Ingredients needed 8 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The thick white stems and tender green leaves of scallions cook at different rates, so always start by blanching the root end first to ensure even softness.
  • Adding just a small amount of new sugar instead of relying solely on sugar helps control sweetness while preventing the scallions from becoming soggy, keeping them crisp throughout.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a crisp, clean side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats like belly or loin pork.
  • People seeking a pickle that stays firm and retains a subtle umami depth and satisfying chewiness even after long storage.
  • Individuals aiming to carefully neutralize scallions’ sharp, spicy aroma to create a sweet-salty, irresistible rice-boosting side dish.
