Ingredients

Main Ingredients (Yields a flexible amount)

  • Komatsuna 200g

Seasonings

  • Soy sauce 1 tbsp
  • Doubanjiang 1 and 1/3 tsp
  • MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG) 7 dashes
  • Sesame oil 2 tsp
  • Soy sauce a dash

Steps

  1. Thoroughly wash the roots of the komatsuna and cut into easy-to-eat lengths.
  2. Place 200g komatsuna in a bag, add 1 tbsp soy sauce, and massage well.
  3. Spread the komatsuna evenly on a flat tray, place a weight on top, and pickle for 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. [Pro Tip!] Place a heavy weight firmly to extract moisture quickly.
  4. Squeeze the pickled komatsuna (still in the bag) to thoroughly remove excess soy sauce and moisture.
  5. Place the squeezed komatsuna in a bowl, add 1 and 1/3 tsp Doubanjiang, 7 dashes MSG(Ajinomoto) (MSG), and 2 tsp sesame oil, and massage well.
  6. Taste and, if desired, add a dash of soy sauce and massage further. [Pro Tip!] If serving as a snack with drinks, a slightly stronger saltiness is recommended.
  7. Squeeze firmly to concentrate the umami, then plate and serve.
  8. If desired, you can also enjoy it stir-fried in a pan with some vegetable oil. [Pro Tip!] Stir-frying in oil enhances richness and sweetness, making it feel more like a main dish.
