Steps

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

  1. Drain the garlic chives and onion, cut them into 2cm pieces, and mix them into the seasoning sauce to make the filling.
  2. Wash the cherry tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut a cross in the top of each with a knife.
  3. Stuff the filling into the cuts in the cherry tomatoes and toss to combine.
💡 TipCherry tomatoes are used instead of cucumbers that need to be salted, to reduce sodium intake. Tomatoes are rich in glutamic acid, which most fruits lack, giving a savory depth, and they pair well with the geotjeori-style seasoning for a fresh, savory taste.
