Make some delicious Korean Green Onion Salad (Pa Muchim 파채무침) Recipe! It’s a popular Korean BBQ side dish! Scallion salad, called Pa Muchim, is so simple to make but adds a lot of flavor to whatever it’s served with.

It requires only seven ingredients and a few minutes to prepare, and it’s great to put together yourself at home.
