Kim Dae-seok's Sweet Potato Shoot Salad

Soak sweet potato shoots in saltwater to easily peel off the skin, then lightly pound with a mallet to enhance tenderness and rich savory flavor.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always pull the skin off from the top (leaf end) downward—not upward—to avoid tearing and ensure a smooth removal.
  • Do not overcook the sweet potato shoots beyond 5 minutes, or they will lose crispness and turn yellowish; always cool them right away after blanching.
  • Lightly pounding the shoots before mixing helps the seasoning penetrate deeply, preventing surface-only flavor and resulting in a more tender texture.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to make a refreshing, crisp, tangy, and savory traditional side dish perfect for summer appetite.
  • Anyone struggling with peeling sweet potato shoots and needing a reliable, foolproof technique.
