- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the acorn jelly. Cut the acorn jelly in half, then slice it thinly into strips that are about the same length as your bell peppers. Slicing it thinly will make it easier to roll and prevent it from breaking.
Step 2
Next, let’s prepare the colorful bell peppers. Remove the seeds from the red and yellow bell peppers, wash them thoroughly, and then julienne them into thin strips, similar in thickness to the acorn jelly. The crisp texture of the bell peppers will add a wonderful dimension to the rolls.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to prepare the cucumber. Wash the cucumber and trim off the ends. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully shave the cucumber into thin, long slices. Aim for thin slices without removing the seeds entirely, as this will help the cucumber bend and roll smoothly. If you don’t have a peeler, you can also thinly slice it with a knife.
Step 4
It’s assembly time! Lay a cucumber slice flat on your work surface. Arrange a strip of acorn jelly, some julienned red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and a small amount of bean sprouts lengthwise along one edge of the cucumber slice. Carefully roll the cucumber slice tightly around the filling, ensuring it holds its shape. Gently press as you roll to secure the filling.
Step 5
Finally, let’s make the delicious dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Whisk everything together until well combined. Arrange the rolled acorn jelly and vegetable rolls on a serving platter and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce. Enjoy this refreshing and elegant dish!
