Steps //

1. 01 Peel off the green skin and keep only the white part. Why Remove as much of the red flesh as you can — it is what makes it spoil.
2. 02 Slice the white part thin, into bite-sized strips. Why Thin slices are what keep the crunch.
3. 03 Salt with 1 tsp of salt for 15 minutes.
4. 04 Squeeze out the water and toss with the seasoning. Why Use plum syrup if you have it. It changes the whole thing.
