Let’s make a flavorful side dish for rice that is perfectly salty and delicious.
Main Ingredients- 15 soy sauce-brined pickled peppers (Jang-ajji)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make a fantastic side dish: ‘Gochu Jang-ajji Muchim’, which translates to a salad made with pickled peppers. While delicious on its own, this seasoned version is truly special and guaranteed to reignite your appetite. Let’s get started!
Step 2
First, prepare 15 soy sauce-brined pickled peppers. If your jang-ajji is too salty, you can rinse it briefly under water and pat it dry before proceeding. Place the pickled peppers in a mixing bowl. Add 1 handful of chopped green onions, 1 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp of gochugaru, 1 tsp of oligo당, 1 Tbsp of sesame oil, and finally, a pinch of toasted sesame seeds. Once all the seasoning ingredients are added, gently toss everything together with your hands until well combined. Ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed amongst the peppers. Be gentle while mixing to avoid mashing the peppers.
Step 3
Doesn’t it already look mouthwatering? This simple preparation transforms the pickled peppers into an even more exquisite dish, balancing spicy, sweet, and savory flavors perfectly. This Gochu Jang-ajji Muchim is a true ‘rice thief’ – it’ll make you want to finish your rice in no time! Serve it alongside your warm rice and enjoy this delightful Korean side dish.
