When I used to take extended business trips in Europe, I enjoyed making Kalbi on the weekends. It was a good way to kick-back and connect with work colleagues. With the leftovers, I made simple weekday bowls like this. Makes a very satisfying dinner!

- Now let make sauce: Mix gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil thoroughly together.
- After 15 minutes, drain the spring onion slices and let them drip-off excess water. Then place them in a mixing bowl. Put the sauce in and mix thoroughly. Salad is ready!
