Ingredients

  • 1 bundle Yu-Choy (Ideally baby yu-choy)
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 stalk Green Onion
  • 4 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Concentrated Vinegar (Essig Essenz)
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
  • 4 tablespoons Korean red pepper flake
  • 2 teaspoons Salt

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly wash the yu-choy
  2. Separate the leaves from the stems. If using regular yu-choy, cut the stems in half lengthwise as well
  3. Wilt the yu-choy by covering it with a decent amount of salt, make sure all the leaves have some salt (Not so much that you have piles of it)
  4. Allow the yu-choy to sit for an hour until it's wilted
  5. Thoroughly rinse all the salt off the yu-choy
  6. Crush the garlic, chop the onion, and mix everything together using your hands! (This is important, there's a Korean word for "The taste of the hand")
