BASpicy Celery side dish recipe ⬇️
1 bunch of celery
1 tsp salt (for pre-salting, optional)
2 tsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
1–2 tsp Korean plum syrup (optional but recommended)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1–2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 tbsp sugar (raw sugar or date sugar both work)
Roasted sesame seeds
1–2 scallions, sliced
Optional: 1/4 tsp fish sauce
1. Rinse and slice the celery into 1-inch pieces.
2. Optional pre-salting: Toss the celery with 1 teaspoon salt and let sit for 20 mins. This helps draw out excess moisture, reduce bitterness, and allows the seasoning to absorb better. After 20 min, squeeze or drain off the released liquid. Do not rinse.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the celery with the seasonings. Toss until well coated.
4. Taste and adjust as needed. It should be slightly saltier than usual, as the celery will continue to release moisture over time.
5. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. Best enjoyed within 1–2 days for maximum crunch.
