Steps

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

Cut the amaranth greens to a suitable length, blanch them in the kelp broth, rinse in cold water, and drain.
Cut the onion into 2 mm thick strips and finely mince the ginger and garlic.
Finely chop the doenjang and push it through a large-holed sieve to keep the texture, then mix with the gochujang, mayonnaise, and gochugaru.
Mix the minced ginger and garlic into the seasoning paste.
Toss the amaranth greens evenly with the onion and seasoning paste.
Drizzle with sesame oil and mix lightly, then sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.

💡 TipBlanching the amaranth greens in kelp broth brings out savory depth, so less salt is needed.
