Hi Maangchi! Love this recipe, it’s a regular rotation at our house. Any chance you can post the garlic sauce for this? I love variations of the same recipe to keep things interesting.
Hi Maangchi! Is this same sauce good to go with mul-naengmyeon to add the mustard heat? I had mul-naengmyeon in a restaurant here in Toronto, and they served it with a bottle of mustard sauce that looked a lot like yours in this video.
MAANGCHI!!! This recipe is amazing. I’ve been making Korean food for two years now, and this is one of the most easiest dishes I have made from your website, you are my main inspiration for making delicious Korean food. This was incredibly and hit the spot for me tonight!!!

Gorgeous! Everything looks so fresh! I’m sure it’s so refreshing and tasty with the sauce. I click the image and the photo goes right side up!
Hmm, interesting. The photo is doing the same thing when I click on it too. Well at least people can see it properly when they click on the image.
I made this salad last night — it is so good I ate 3/4 of it myself. It is quick and easy to make.
I can see any leftover meat being used to make it, not just imitation crab. Cold, shredded chicken would be an excellent substitute for the crab in this dish, too.
You are right! The sauce will go well with any ingredients!
I tried this salad substituting some leftover roasted chicken for the cram. It was absolutely wonderful! This is an excellent recipe.
Is gyeojagaru pure mustard like the English mustard powder that we have in the UK, or does it have other ingredients added like salt or sugar? Besides kimchi, doenjang and gochujang, specialist Korean ingredients can be really hard to find, even online, in SW England!
Yes, Coleman’s mustard is a very close substitute for Korean mustard powder! I actually prefer it a bit more than the Korean or Japanese mustards. It has a slightly cleaner flavor, but the overall flavor profile is almost the same.
Wow! This looks so yummy and easy!! Can’t wait to try it :)
Oh. My. God. You make everything seem so easy! LOVE your tutorial!!! I’ve been viewing your blog everyday for the last few weeks and have been making a lot of foods using your recipes (today I made Soegogi Moogook)! I’m definitely going to try to make this salad! Right now I can think of adding some cooked squid to this salad too! My mouth is watering as I type this.
Adding some cooked squid is a fantastic idea!
wow look very nice colourful yammmmm
