Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Sunchoke Dressing

Peel and chop the sunchokes into small pieces. In a blender, combine the sunchokes, nori sheets, soy sauce, chili oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

2

Prepare the Lettuce

Wash and dry the gem lettuce heads thoroughly. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

3

Add Dressing

Drizzle the sunchoke nori dressing over the lettuce leaves. Toss gently to coat all the leaves evenly.

4

Garnish

Tear the shiso leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle over the dressed lettuce. Add puffed rice on top for crunch.

5

Serve

Serve immediately as a fresh salad, and drizzle additional chili oil if desired.
