Step 1
Mix acorn starch with 1 cup cold water in a bowl, stirring until smooth and lump-free.
Step 2
Bring remaining 3 cups water to a boil in a pot.
Step 3
Slowly pour the acorn starch mixture into boiling water while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Step 4
Continue stirring for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Stir in salt. Pour into a parchment-lined square baking dish and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set (at least 4 hours or overnight).
Step 6
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Fry sliced onions until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, gochugaru, and sesame seeds in a small bowl for the dipping sauce.
Step 8
Cut the chilled dotorimuk into bite-sized cubes or rectangles.
Step 9
Divide dotorimuk among serving bowls and top with crispy fried onions and green onions.
Step 10
Serve immediately with dipping sauce on the side.
