Pa Muchim | Traditional Salad From South Korea, East Asia | TasteAtlas

Scallion Salad (Pa muchim)

(Scallion Salad, Pajeori, 파무침)

Pa muchim or pajeori is a traditional salad originating from South Korea. Although every family in Korea has their own recipe, the salad is usually made with a combination of scallions, red chili flakes, salt, sugar, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.


The scallions are sliced lengthwise into strips, soaked in cold water in order to get crunchy, drained, and mixed with the sesame oil, red chili flakes, vinegar, sugar, and salt. The ingredients are tossed and the salad is served chilled or at room temperature.


Pa muchim is often served with unseasoned grilled meat dishes such as samgyupsal gui.
