Recipe

Bring water to a boil in a pot, add 1 tablespoon of sea salt, then add sesalna-mul and blanch for exactly 10 seconds.
Immediately rinse the blanched sesalna-mul under cold water to remove all heat and preserve its crisp texture.
Squeeze out moisture in two stages, pressing firmly.
In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of miso, 0.5 tablespoon of minced garlic, 0.5 tablespoon of plum syrup, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to make the dressing.
Gently fluff the squeezed sesalna-mul and sprinkle it over the dressing, breaking up any clumps as you go.
Lightly crush the 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds and sprinkle them on top. Toss everything gently until the dressing is evenly distributed.

Blanch sesalna-mul in boiling salted water for 10 seconds, then rinse under cold water and squeeze out moisture.
Mix miso, minced garlic, plum syrup, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
Fluff the greens into the dressing and toss with crushed toasted sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Sesalna-mul becomes soft quickly if overcooked, so remove it from the pot within 10 seconds to keep it crisp.
Avoid placing the greens directly on top of the dressing, as they may clump; instead, prepare the dressing first in the bowl before adding the greens.
Do not chop the greens with a knife—tossing them by hand preserves their characteristic pop-in-the-mouth texture.
