WATERCRESS NAMUL

Steps:

• Snip off any thick, tough stem ends with a knife. Wash the watercress thoroughly in cold water by swishing around, and drain.
• Boil about 10 cups of water with 2 teaspoons of salt. Blanch the watercress until wilted, 30 - 40 seconds.
• Quickly remove it from the pot, and shock in cold water to stop the cooking.
• Drain, and gently squeeze out excess water. Run the knife through a couple of times to cut them into 2 to 3-inch lengths.
• Add the remaing ingredients and mix everything well, by hand. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes for the seasonings to seep into the watercress.
