Instructions
Trim the bottom stems of the scallions, and peel off any dirty layers. Rinse and cut into 2-inch segments.
Make kimchi paste: add grated onions, garlic and ginger to a mixing bowl and combine with gochugaru, gochujang, sesame oil, agave syrup, and soy sauce. Mix well.Tip: to grate onions, garlic and ginger, I add them to a food processor and blend for about 20 seconds, until smooth.
Gently toss scallions in kimchi paste. Use your hands to spread the paste evenly and thoroughly.
You can enjoy it right away, but the flavors will develop more if you let it sit in the fridge for several hours (or overnight). Enjoy!
