Ingredients
- 1 Bell Pepper (choose your preferred color)
- 1 Tbsp Doenjang (Korean soybean paste)
- 1/2 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup or Honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the bell pepper and remove the stem and seeds. Slice it into bite-sized square pieces. Cutting them slightly thicker will help maintain a satisfying crunchy texture.
Step 2
Place all the sliced bell peppers into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Preparation is this simple!
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing. In the bowl with the bell peppers, add 1 tablespoon of doenjang, 1/2 tablespoon of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of corn syrup (or honey), and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. The savory depth of doenjang, the mild heat of gochujang, the sweetness from the syrup, and the nutty aroma of sesame oil create a perfect flavor harmony. Gently toss everything together to ensure the dressing evenly coats the bell pepper slices. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bell peppers mushy. Your delightful bell pepper salad is ready!
