About this dish

Gimbugak - deep-fried seaweed chips coated in glutinous rice paste - is crushed over the finished salad to deliver a savory crunch distinct from ordinary croutons.

Ripe avocado provides a creamy fat base, while blanched sweet corn adds a gentle grain sweetness that balances the richness. Cherry tomatoes and shredded red cabbage bring color and bright acidity, and a light dressing of lime juice with fine chili powder leaves a gentle heat on the finish. The chips soften quickly once they touch moisture, so they must be added at the very last moment.

Instructions

Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.

6 steps
  1. 1
    Control

    Add 120 g sweet corn kernels to boiling water and blanch over medium heat for only 2 minutes.

    When the kernels smell sweet and look brighter, drain them well in a sieve and let them cool completely.

  2. 2
    Prep

    Cut 150 g avocado into bite-size pieces and immediately spoon over half of the 15 ml lime juice.

    Turn the pieces gently instead of mashing them, so the surfaces are coated and browning slows down.

  3. 3
    Prep

    Halve 120 g cherry tomatoes and slice 70 g red cabbage as thinly as possible.

    If the cabbage pieces are thick, they will feel tough, so loosen the shreds and shake off extra moisture before mixing.

  4. 4
    Season

    In a large bowl, combine the remaining lime juice, 14 ml olive oil, 2 g salt, and 1 g fine chili powder.

    Whisk until the salt is no longer visible and the dressing looks lightly tinted and even.

  5. 5
    Season

    Add the cooled corn, tomatoes, and red cabbage to the dressing first, then toss lightly so the seasoning reaches every piece.

    Add the avocado last and fold just until combined, keeping the edges intact.

  6. 6
    Finish

    Transfer the salad to a serving plate, then roughly crush 35 g gimbugak over the top right before eating.

    Once the chips touch the dressing they soften quickly, so serve immediately for the crispest texture.
