    Look and feel: Dressing is uniform.

    Safety: Use clean utensils and verify all packaged labels.

  5. Toss lightly

    Drizzle dressing over gim and toss quickly with clean dry utensils.

    Time: 2 minutes

    Look and feel: Pieces are lightly coated, not saturated.

    Safety: Do not use hands that have contacted raw food.

  6. Serve promptly

    Transfer to a clean dish and serve immediately for best texture.
