Main Ingredients- Lettuce 100g
- 1/2 Apple
- 1/4 Onion
- A little Chives
- 1 Red chili pepper
Dressing Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 0.7 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 0.7 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Plum Extract
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the lettuce. Wash it thoroughly under running water about three times. Soaking it in water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 5 minutes during the last rinse helps maintain its crispness and remove any impurities. After washing, drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Next, prepare the vegetables that will add freshness and texture. Core the apple, peel it, and slice it thinly into julienne strips. Thinly slice the onion as well. Remove the seeds from the red chili pepper and slice it into thin strips. Wash the chives and cut them into approximately 3cm lengths.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 0.7 tablespoon of minced garlic.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of plum extract to create a perfectly balanced sweet and tangy dressing for the lettuce salad. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 5
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the dressing for a nutty aroma and richness. Mix thoroughly until all the dressing ingredients are well incorporated. The fragrant aroma will surely whet your appetite.
Step 6
Add the sliced chives, onion, and apple to the prepared dressing and gently mix. Then, add the lettuce and toss everything lightly to coat the lettuce evenly with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the lettuce mushy.
Step 7
Gently toss until all the ingredients are well combined with the dressing. Your refreshing and delicious lettuce salad is now ready! The delightful combination of crispness, freshness, and a sweet and spicy flavor is truly irresistible.
Step 8
This dish is a perfect ‘#EveningSideDish’ to enjoy with warm rice or grilled meats, offering a wonderful contrast in texture and flavor. If served immediately after preparation, it can even be enjoyed as a refreshing salad alternative. This simple yet healthy and delicious lettuce salad will surely make your mealtime more vibrant!
