Chive is an essential ingredient in everyday Korean meal. It is used in many recipes such as simple salads, soup, and even kimchi. Chive has a distinctive fresh taste which goes very nicely with meat, fish, or hot meals.
Coriander, also known as cilantro, is not commonly used in Korean cuisine because its unique taste is too strong for some. But coriander is a great ingredient, adding a kick to salads and cold meals.
This salad requires less than 10 minutes and a small amount of ingredients to make. It's also very easy to cook.
