Sangchu Geotjeori (Korean Lettuce Salad)

Sangchu Geotjeori (Korean Lettuce Salad) Recipe
Ingredients*
1 bunch romaine, green leaf, or red leaf lettuce
2 green onions or 1/2 bunch buchu (chives)
2 small cloves garlic, minced or grated
2 TB tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
1 1/2 – 2 TB rice vinegar
1 TB sesame oil
1 TB agave nectar, sugar, or honey
1/2 – 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean red chili pepper flakes)
1 TB crushed toasted sesame seeds

Directions

1. Combine minced garlic and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Let it stand for a few minutes to rid the raw garlic of its bite. Add rest of the ingredients for the dressing: soy sauce, sesame oil, agave nectar (or honey), gochugaru, and sesame seeds. Stir to combine. Set aside.
2. Cut the green onions thinly lengthwise into long shredded pieces. If you are using chives, simply cut them into 2-3 inch pieces. Cut the lettuce into bite-sized pieces or ribbons. Add them together in a large bowl. Pour the dressing from step 1 to the greens. Toss lightly until the dressing is distributed evenly. Garnish with toasted whole sesame seeds and gochugaru (Korean red chili pepper flakes). Serve immediately.
