Dotori Muk Muchim | Seasoned Korean Acorn Jelly | How to Season & Eat | OPPACOOKSHERE #도토리묵
Acorns are the nuts of oak trees. It's unsafe (as well as yucky) to eat them raw. These nuts contain high amounts of tannin which is adverse to your health. But tannins are water-soluble and can be removed by boiling- which they have been to make the powder to make this jelly! Enjoy the health benefits (antioxidants, may aid in digestion) and munch on some acorns- in jelly form, which is so fun 😜. Jellies are always fun. You can bump up the nutritional value and make it a really filling salad by adding your favourite greens. Koreans will usually use lettuce, perilla leaves and edible chrysanthemum (쑥갓) which go well with the Korean-style dressing - check out Maangchi's recipe here https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dotorimuk-muchim 🍽 Other Dishes with Dotori Muk: 도토리 묵 무침 (Dotori Muk Muchim) Seasoned Acorn Jelly (this video) 도토리 묵 밥/국수/사발 (Dotori Muk Sabal) Acorn Jelly Noodles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1uIFoa3yuQ (just to get an idea, this video is in Korean) 도토리 묵 비빔밥 (Dotori Muk Bibimbap) Acorn Jelly Bibimbap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isrN-RK3mDE Some will use acorn jelly to replace the carb portion of meals with this low-cal option to help lose weight.
