Method
- Cut off the dense root end and split into small bundles.
- Pan cook with a teaspoon of oil for 2–4 minutes or broil sauced bundles for 3–5 minutes.
- Use high heat briefly; long cooking makes them limp.
- Finish with gochujang, soy-garlic butter, sesame oil, or scallions.
Cook times
| Method | Time | Done when |

| Pan quick cook | 2–4 min | Just wilted; stems still springy. |
| Broil | 3–5 min | Tips browned, bundles softened. |
Small fixes that matter
- Separate bundles so seasoning gets inside.
- Check early under a broiler.
- They are excellent in soup but only need the final minutes.
Good with
ramen, hot pot, rice, lettuce wraps.
Use it in
