Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the flavorful seasoning. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of doenjang, 1 teaspoon of gochujang, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
Step 2
Also, have your toasted sesame seeds ready to sprinkle on top later.
Step 3
Whisk or stir the ingredients in the bowl until they are well combined and form a smooth, uniform paste. You’ll notice a rich, savory aroma as it comes together.
Step 4
Next, prepare the bell peppers and onion. For the bell peppers, remove the stems and seeds, then wash them thoroughly under running water.
Step 5
Cut the prepared bell peppers and onion into bite-sized cubes, similar to ‘kkakdugi’ (Korean radish cubes). Aim for pieces that are easy to eat, avoiding making them too small so you can enjoy their crisp texture.
Step 6
Now it’s time to bring everything together. Add the cubed bell peppers and onion to the bowl containing the prepared seasoning.
Step 7
Gently toss and mix using a spoon or your hands until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning. Be careful not to mash the bell peppers; the key is to lightly mix them to preserve their delightful crispness.
Step 8
Your crispy and delicious paprika doenjang muchim is ready! The vibrant colors are visually appealing, and the combination of savory doenjang and fresh bell peppers makes it an outstanding side dish that perfectly complements your rice.
Step 9
Transfer the finished paprika doenjang muchim to a serving dish. Sprinkle generously with toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of nutty flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful dish with your meal!
