Cooking Instructions
Step 1
All ingredients are measured after preparation. Bell peppers are divided by color, with 30g of each. Wash the bean sprouts thoroughly.
Step 2
First, blanch the washed bean sprouts in boiling water without salt. Do not discard the blanching water; use it to boil the chicken breast for about 15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and easily shredded.
Step 3
While the chicken breast is boiling, slice the vegetables. Thinly julienne the carrot and bell peppers. Cut the chives into 3-4 cm lengths.
Step 4
Prepare the flavorful low-sodium doenjang sauce. In a bowl, combine the doenjang, prepared mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched bean sprouts, sliced vegetables, and the shredded, cooked chicken breast.
Step 6
Pour the prepared low-sodium doenjang sauce over the ingredients. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly, being careful not to mash the ingredients.
Step 7
Finally, lightly crush some sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the salad for a nutty aroma and decorative finish.
Step 8
Although this is a low-sodium recipe, the combination of doenjang, mustard, and apple cider vinegar provides a rich and complex flavor profile. The tender chicken breast and crisp vegetables create a delightful textural contrast.
Step 9
Enjoy this delicious and healthy Chogye Salad, a cancer-preventive and low-sodium recipe that’s good for your well-being!
