- 90g Bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 20g Carrot
- 10g Chives
- A pinch of sesame seeds

- 10g Doenjang (fermented soybean paste)
- 10g Prepared mustard
- 1.5 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 8g Sugar
- 4g Minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the bean sprouts thoroughly and blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes until they are still crisp. Rinse the blanched bean sprouts under cold water and drain well.
Step 2
Add the chicken breast to the water used for blanching the bean sprouts and simmer for about 15 minutes until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove the chicken breast and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Julienne the carrot and bell peppers. Cut the chives to a similar length as the bell peppers for a visually appealing and easy-to-eat salad.
Step 4
Once slightly cooled, shred the chicken breast along the grain. Shredding the chicken helps the dressing penetrate better, making it even more delicious.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the doenjang, prepared mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and minced garlic. Whisk everything together until well combined to create the delicious low-sodium doenjang dressing.
Step 6
In a large bowl, add the prepared shredded chicken breast, bean sprouts, julienned carrots, bell peppers, and chives. Pour the prepared doenjang dressing over the ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 7
Transfer the well-mixed chicken salad to a nice serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to finish. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful Low-Sodium Doenjang Chicken Salad!
