Ingredients
- 200 grams red leaf lettuce
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons sugar

Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the red leaf lettuce. Tear it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Mince the garlic clove finely and set it aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing the gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and sesame seeds until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the lettuce and green onions in the mixing bowl.
Using clean hands or kitchen tongs, gently toss the salad until the lettuce is evenly coated with the dressing.
