About this dish

Drops of omija liquid hit freezer-cold oil and set at once into tiny frozen beads, each one carrying the tart-sweet taste of schisandra berry syrup.

Half the juice stays a clear red, while the other half gets milk and yogurt powder for an opaque pink, so the bowl holds two colors and two flavors. A quick rinse in cold water after straining takes away the oily film that would otherwise coat the tongue.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Combine 100ml omija syrup with 200ml water and stir well to make a deep pink omija juice, then divide into two bowls.

  2. 2

    Add 50ml milk and 1 tablespoon yogurt powder to the second bowl of omija juice and stir until the liquid is opaque pink.

  3. 3

    Pour 500ml cooking oil into a deep cup and chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour until very cold so the omija drops solidify the moment they hit the oil.

  4. 4

    Using a dropper or small spoon, slowly drop the omija liquid into the cold oil one drop at a time, letting each drop solidify into a sphere before adding the next.

  5. 5

    Carefully scoop the solidified beads out of the oil with a fine strainer and rinse gently in cold water to remove the oil coating.

  6. 6

    Pat dry, place in an airtight container, and freeze until serving; arrange a mix of the clear and opaque pink beads on a plate and serve cold.

Tips

The oil must be cold enough for the drops to harden into spheres immediately.
Adding these to sparkling water creates a fun, popping bead ade.
