Lim Sung-geun's Spring Water Drop Greens Side Dish

A simple side dish that preserves the fresh, crisp taste of spring greens with just a light toss using tuna sauce and sesame oil—no heavy seasoning needed.

🙋 Recommended for

  • ⭐ Those looking for a fresh, crisp vegetable side dish to pair with grilled pork belly or other meat dishes.
  • ⭐ People who want a seasonal vegetable side dish ready in just 5 minutes without needing complex stove control.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • water drop greens 100g
  • onion half
  • medium red pepper powder 2 tablespoons
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • whole sesame seeds 1 tablespoon
  • tuna sauce 2 tablespoons
  • sesame oil 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. Rinse water drop greens thoroughly under running water, then trim off the tough stems and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Slice half an onion into thin strips, about 5mm thick, not too thick.
  3. Place the prepared water drop greens and sliced onion into a mixing bowl.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons red pepper powder, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon whole sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons tuna sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
  5. Toss gently with your hands—don’t press too hard to avoid crushing the greens—and mix lightly until well combined.
  1. Wash water drop greens thoroughly, remove tough stems, and slice the onion.
  2. Add all vegetables and seasonings to a bowl one by one.
  3. Gently toss with fingertips to avoid strong aroma, keeping the greens light and fresh.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using tuna sauce instead of regular soy sauce enhances the umami flavor and makes this dish much more delicious.
  • Do not prepare in advance—greens lose their freshness and release water quickly; best served right before eating, ideally while grilling meat or setting the table.
