Cooking tips

  • Using sea salt and malt syrup together creates osmotic pressure, drawing out moisture from the noppeo and preserving its crisp texture.
  • Coating the noppeo with gochugaru before adding the dressing prevents the seasoning from sliding off and stops excess moisture from forming.
  • Adding 1/2 tablespoon of doenjang enhances the rich, savory umami flavor of the dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy cool, crunchy noppeo dishes in summer.
  • People looking for a noppeo salad that doesn’t get soggy and has seasoning that clings well.
