Advice
Salt the cucumber, then squeeze it dry, that one step keeps gamja salad creamy and thick instead of watery the next day. π₯
Why it works π‘
Steaming the potatoes dry before mashing removes excess moisture, so the mayo dressing clings and the salad stays fluffy, not gluey. π‘
Twist πΆοΈ
Add 80 g diced apple (Β½ cup / 2.8 oz) for a brighter cafe style crunch, or add 5 g mustard (1 tsp / 0.18 oz) for a sharper premium finish. πΆοΈ
