Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Peel the pear.
Cut the peeled pear into cubes.
Cut the garlic chives to a bite-size length.
Toss the pear and garlic chives with the gochugaru so the color soaks in.
Add the plum syrup and sugar and toss for a sweet-and-sour flavor.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.

💡 TipThe pear is not salted but tossed with gochugaru and plum syrup.
