Essential Ingredients- 150g peeled Deodeok (Codonopsis Lanceolata)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 3 tbsp store-bought cho-gochujang (sweet chili paste)
- 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 tbsp maesilcheong (plum extract)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Pinch of toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly rinse the peeled Deodeok under running water. Depending on the thickness, cut the Deodeok into 2 or 3 pieces for easy eating. Thicker roots can be cut in half, while thinner ones can be cut into thirds. Add the minced garlic and chopped green onion to the cut Deodeok.
Step 2
Now it’s time for the dressing. To the prepared Deodeok, add 3 tablespoons of store-bought cho-gochujang, 1 teaspoon of gochugaru, 1 tablespoon of maesilcheong, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma.
Step 3
Gently toss and mix the ingredients with your hands until the dressing is evenly distributed. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as this could break apart the Deodeok. This method makes seasoning easy and quickly results in a delicious Deodeok salad. Isn’t it incredibly simple?
Step 4
Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Finally, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. Your delicious 5-minute Deodeok Gochujang Salad is now complete! Enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal with the perfect balance of slightly bitter Deodeok and the tangy-sweet dressing.
