This Man's Cook's Sorrel Greens

A unique side dish that transforms lettuce, usually eaten only in wraps, by briefly blanching it in boiling water and tossing it with a sweet-and-sour seasoning of soybean paste and gochujang.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not blanch the lettuce for more than 5 seconds, or it will become too soft and mushy.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the lettuce to ensure the dressing adheres well and the dish doesn’t become bland over time.
  • Homemade soybean paste can be very salty, so it’s recommended to use store-bought soybean paste instead.
  • Since this dish tends to release moisture easily, it’s best enjoyed immediately after preparation for optimal freshness and flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a creative way to use up excess lettuce.
  • People wanting a super-fast side dish that takes only 5 seconds to prepare without needing to adjust the stove.
  • Fans of sweet-and-sour, savory greens based on soybean paste and gochujang.
