Recipe

Rinse the boiled gungchae briefly under cold water, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Place the prepared gungchae in a bowl and add lajiao sauce, minced garlic, stevia (or sugar), and salt.
Mix thoroughly by hand, pressing and rubbing firmly so the seasoning penetrates deeply.
Once the chili oil and seasonings are well combined, drizzle in the toasted sesame oil and mix gently.
Finally, sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

Wash the gungchae in water and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Add gungchae, lajiao sauce, minced garlic, sugar, and salt to a bowl.
Rub vigorously by hand until the seasoning is fully absorbed.
Finish by adding toasted sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Lajiao sauce is already seasoned, so add salt gradually according to taste.
Rub firmly by hand to ensure the seasoning reaches the inner parts of the gungchae.
Use the solid bits from the lajiao sauce for enhanced flavor.
