Kim Dae-seok's Garlic Chives Steamed

Blanching the garlic chives in soju and sea salt removes their sharpness, then coating them with raw soybean flour and glutinous rice flour before steaming creates a chewy, clean-tasting dish.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always trim the tough ends (the swollen tips) of the garlic chives when preparing them—this ensures a neat, clean appearance.
  • Blanching briefly with soju and sea salt eliminates the characteristic pungent and sharp flavors while preserving the chives' natural sweetness.
  • When coating the chives with flour, a slight amount of moisture helps the flours adhere evenly and prevents them from sliding off.
  • Season the chives while they're still lukewarm—not fully cooled—so the seasoning penetrates deeply and evenly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy garlic chives without their sharp taste, but with a sweet and nutty flavor.
  • People looking for a smooth, chewy seasonal vegetable side dish that stimulates the appetite.
  • Fans of rustic, healthy flavors using raw soybean flour.
