Steps
Slice the vegetables into half-moons, taking care not to cut them too thin.
You can eat tofu raw, but I blanched it in boiling water and let it cool before using.
Toss the vegetables with the seasoning amounts listed above. Mixing this straight into a bowl of rice is truly delicious too.
But today, it goes into muk muchim...
I placed the thickly sliced muk and tofu around the edges and piled the seasoned vegetable geotjeori in the center.
The yellow topping is egg yolk. I had some leftover from eating jjolmyeon, so I sprinkled it on.
Eating this when I felt peckish tasted so delicious; then again, what wouldn't taste good?
Some people say they lose their appetite as the weather gets warmer,
but I have no idea why my appetite is always so good. If I gain weight from this, I wonder if my husband will give me side-eye... if he does, I will make mincemeat out of him.
If you have lost your appetite, try having some muk after a long while.

FAQ
Which ingredients should I use if I am short on vegetables?
Even if you do not have all the vegetables, preparing just lettuce and cucumber and tossing them in the dressing will be plenty delicious.
Can I use the tofu raw right away?
Eating it raw is fine, but it is even better if you blanch it briefly in boiling water and let it cool before using.
Should the muk and tofu be tossed together with the vegetables?
Toss only the vegetables in the dressing first, arrange the thickly sliced muk and tofu around the edges of the plate, and place the seasoned geotjeori in the center to serve alongside.
