This simple salad is a staple at Bokman, and super simple to bring together. The dressing is delicious on all sorts of vegetables, but at the restaurant they use a mixture of Chinese cabbage, onion, carrots and chives. This can serve one as a main or four as a side.

Method

1

Toast the sesame seeds for the dressing in a dry pan until lightly coloured and fragrant, then allow to cool

2

Blitz the toasted seeds in a spice grinder to a fine powder (be careful not to over blend or they’ll turn into tahini!)

3

Crush the garlic clove and combine it with the sesame seed powder and remaining dressing ingredients, whisking to emulsify

4

Cut the Chinese cabbage in half again, remove the core and slice it crossways into 2.5 cm slices

5

Slice the onion as finely as possible and soak it in iced water for at least 15 minutes

6

Cut the carrot into 6 cm long and 1 mm thick slices. In a restaurant they slice them on a mandoline. Then, julienne the slices

7

Cut the chives into 6 cm lengths

8

Toast the gim in a dry pan and tear into 3 cm pieces

9

Chop the pine nuts as finely as possible

10

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chinese cabbage, onion, chive and carrot with the dressing

11

Toss well and add the gim flakes. Toss again briefly and transfer gently to a serving plate or bowl

12

Top with pine nut powder and serve

Following time in Paris and nearly a decade in Korea, Kyu Jeong Jeon and Duncan Robertson returned to the UK with their inaugural Bristol restaurant Bokman. The duo’s latest opening, Dongnae, expands upon their signature style: accessible Korean food. If Bokman is a party, Dongnae is the Sunday morning afterwards. With industry legends including Nobu Matsuhisa and Joël Robouchon among the couple's mentors, it’s a small wonder they’re considered among Bristol's brightest talents.
