Crispy and Sweet Persimmon Salad (Gam Saengchae Muchim)
Featured on KBS ‘Live Info’! Enjoy the Refreshing and Sweet Persimmon Salad
Recreate the famous persimmon salad from Jeollanam-do Jangseong, featured on KBS ‘2TV Live Info’ segment ‘Just Right Now! PD Goes’. This vibrant salad combines the crisp texture and natural sweetness of local persimmons with a zesty, spicy dressing. It’s a perfect side dish or appetizer that will tantalize your taste buds!
Main Ingredients- 2 ripe but firm persimmons (peeled)
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (for a mild spiciness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the persimmons and peel them. Remove the core and seeds, then thinly slice them into matchsticks (about 0.5 cm thick). This ensures the dressing penetrates well and maintains a good texture. Finely chop the Cheongyang chili pepper. Removing the seeds will reduce the heat level.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the sliced persimmons and chopped chili pepper. Add all the seasoning ingredients: gochugaru, fish sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, minced garlic, and vinegar. Mix them together gently.
Step 3
Now, gently toss everything together with your hands. Be careful not to mash the persimmons; the key is to coat them evenly with the dressing without breaking them. Once everything is well combined and coated, your delicious persimmon salad is ready to be served!
