- Plenty of toasted sesame seeds
Zesty and Sweet Dressing- 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp maesilcheong (plum extract) or corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp maesilcheong (plum extract) or corn syrup
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Gently rinse the stone parsley under running water, making sure to check for any dirt or debris. Thinly slice the onion and julienne the carrot into similar-sized strips. Slicing them this way ensures they blend well with the texture of the stone parsley.
Step 2
It’s crucial to drain the washed stone parsley thoroughly in a colander. Excess water can dilute the flavor of the salad. Julienne the onion and carrot thinly. The carrot adds a vibrant color, and the onion contributes a refreshing crunch.
Step 3
The key to a delicious stone parsley salad is the dressing! In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp maesilcheong (or corn syrup), 1 Tbsp vinegar, 0.5 Tbsp gochugaru, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic, and 0.5 Tbsp sesame oil. Feel free to adjust the sugar or vinegar to your taste. Mix well and let the flavors meld for a moment.
Step 4
Place the prepared stone parsley, julienned onion, and carrot in a mixing bowl. Pour all the prepared dressing over them. Now, gently toss everything together with your hands. Be careful not to mash the delicate stone parsley, but ensure it’s evenly coated with the dressing. Finally, sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. Your crisp, zesty, and sweet stone parsley salad is complete! It’s perfect as a side dish with rice or as a delightful appetizer.
