Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the delicious Red Ginseng Mustard Dressing. In a small bowl, add 1/3 tsp of Red Ginseng Extract, 1/2 Tbsp of Prepared Mustard, and 1 tsp of Minced Garlic. Whisk them gently to release their aromas. Next, add 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 Tbsp Vinegar, and 1 Tbsp Plum Syrup for sweetness. Stir well with a whisk or spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. This will create a dressing harmoniously blending the subtle aroma of red ginseng, the slight pungency of mustard, and a sweet and sour flavor.
Step 2
Place the prepared Red Ginseng Mustard Dressing in the refrigerator to chill. While the dressing is cooling, let’s prepare the bell peppers that will add color to the salad. Wash the red and yellow bell peppers thoroughly, remove the seeds, and slice them into bite-sized strips. These colorful bell peppers will make the salad visually appealing.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the salad greens. Wash the lettuce under running water or soak it briefly in cold or ice water. Then, pat it dry thoroughly to ensure maximum crispness and freshness. Arrange the drained lettuce generously on a serving plate. Wash the fresh chives and cut them into approximately 5cm lengths. Finally, artfully arrange the colorful bell pepper strips and cut chives over the lettuce on the plate. Drain the chicken breast can and layer the chicken breast on top. Your ‘Red Ginseng Chicken Breast Salad,’ packed with both flavor and health, is now complete! Serve with the chilled dressing and enjoy.
