Recipe

Cut the cheongpomuk and perilla into bite-sized pieces, about finger-length.
Boil water and add the cheongpomuk, cooking until the cloudy texture turns translucent, then remove and cool.
Bring water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, briefly blanch the cleaned perilla, then immediately rinse under cold water and squeeze out excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine the blanched cheongpomuk and perilla, then add salt 1/3 tablespoon, minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon, sesame oil 2 tablespoons, and toasted sesame seeds.
Gently mix with hands to coat evenly, transfer to a serving dish, crumble the seasoned seaweed on top as garnish, and serve.

Cut cheongpomuk and perilla into appropriate sizes.
Blanch cheongpomuk until translucent, and briefly blanch perilla in salted water before draining and squeezing dry.
Combine all ingredients with salt, garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds in a bowl, mix well, then top with crumbled seasoned seaweed.

Cooking tips

If the cheongpomuk becomes too firm, re-blanch it in boiling water to restore its soft, chewy texture.
Use seasoned seaweed instead of regular seaweed powder for better flavor balance.
