Pa Muchim | Korean Green Onion Salad
This Korean green onion salad aka Pa Muchim, is a delicious sweet, salty, spicy and savory side that captures the essence of Korean food in its truest sense.
Ingredients
- 5-6 spring onions
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1-2 teaspoon Gochugaru
Instructions
- Wash your green onions well and toss them in your salad spinner to get rid of all the excess water.
- Slice the green onions thinly using a sharp knife, an onion slicer or a green onion shredder. You can also use a green onion cutting tool to get the perfect thinly sliced green onions.
- Top the green onions with some sesame seeds and set aside.
- In a small bowl, prepare the sauce separately by combining the rest of the ingredients and mixing well until the sugar is melted.
- Pour the sauce over the spring onions and toss well.
Notes
- If you don’t have a green onion slice cutter, or just want to cut down the cooking time for this recipe, you can also buy pre-sliced green onions and use them for the recipe.
- These green onion slivers or julienned scallions are sold at most Asian grocery stores, so you should be able to find them very easily.
- A good way to preserve the freshness of your spring onions is to first cut the green onions and then soak them in some ice cold water for 10-15 minutes. Then, drain off all the excess water and use them to make this recipe.
