🙋 Recommended for

  • Those seeking a special seasoning sauce to pair with vegetable rice dishes like bean sprout rice or mugwort rice
  • Those who want to make a fragrant spring dallae-based universal dressing using fresh seasonal greens

Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings

  • Universal soy sauce 1 cup
  • Dallae half bunch
  • Minced garlic 0.5 tablespoon
  • Hulled sesame seeds 2 tablespoons
  • Red pepper 1 piece
  • Chile pepper 2 pieces
  • Chili powder 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil 2 tablespoons

Recipe 🍳

  1. Wash the dallae thoroughly, lightly crush the root ends with the side of a knife, then finely chop.
  2. Remove seeds from red pepper and chile pepper, then mince finely.
  3. Pour 1 cup of universal soy sauce into a bowl and add half a bunch of chopped dallae. The solids should rise high above the sauce surface.
  4. Add 0.5 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons hulled sesame seeds, and the minced red and chile peppers.
  5. Mix in 2 tablespoons chili powder and 2 tablespoons sesame oil until well combined.
  1. Clean and finely chop the dallae.
  2. Mince the red pepper and chile pepper finely.
  3. Add plenty of chopped dallae and minced peppers to the universal soy sauce.
  4. Mix in garlic, hulled sesame seeds, chili powder, and sesame oil to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • As time passes, moisture from the dallae and peppers will seep into the sauce, thinning it out. To counter this, make it extra thick and packed with solids when first preparing.
  • Lightly crushing the round root end of the dallae with the back of a knife helps draw out its distinctive fragrance more fully.
