Step 2
First, thoroughly wash the Korean cucumber peppers under running water and remove the stems. Slice them diagonally about 0.5 cm thick. Peel the onion and slice it into similar-sized strips. Slicing them beforehand like this will help the dressing penetrate evenly.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of miso paste, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Use a spoon to gently stir until all the ingredients are well mixed. The savory aroma of the miso paste will signal a delicious outcome.
Step 4
Prepare 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds by lightly rubbing them between your palms. This will enhance their nutty flavor. Preparing the sesame seeds this way will elevate the overall aroma and taste of the dish.
Step 5
Add the sliced cucumber peppers and onion to the prepared seasoning bowl. Gently place them in so the dressing coats the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Using a spoon, gently mix the ingredients with the dressing until well combined. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this can mash the vegetables. It’s important to mix them carefully so that the dressing coats them evenly.
Step 7
