Why This Recipe Works

This variation of yangnyeomjang can be served alongside gim, rice, and fried tofu. We use garlic chives and yellow onion for a robust kick; however, if you don’t have garlic chives, green onions or additional yellow onion make a great substitute.

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Serve. (You can make this ahead and refrigerate for up to 4 days, but don’t add the chives until just before serving.)
