Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to reduce the saltiness of the preserved peppers. Rinse them thoroughly under cold running water multiple times. After rinsing, gently squeeze out as much water as possible. Then, spread the peppers on a plate or colander and let them air dry for 10-20 minutes to remove any remaining moisture. This step ensures the seasoning adheres well to the peppers without becoming watery, resulting in a much tastier dish.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the delicious seasoning sauce. In a deep bowl, combine 5 Tbsp soy sauce, 5 Tbsp red pepper flakes, 3 Tbsp corn syrup, and 1 Tbsp sugar. Whisk them together well. You can adjust the amount of sugar and soy sauce to your preference for the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Step 3
Next, add 1.5 Tbsp minced garlic, 3 Tbsp finely chopped green onions, 1 tsp fragrant sesame oil, and finally, 1 tsp of vinegar for a touch of tanginess. Mix all the seasoning ingredients thoroughly until you have a flavorful sauce.
Step 4
Pour the prepared seasoning sauce over the dried preserved peppers. Be generous with the sauce to ensure all the peppers are well-coated.
Step 5
Now, gently mix everything together with your hands! Toss the peppers and sauce until evenly combined. Be careful not to mash the peppers; a gentle mix is key to maintaining their texture. Your delicious and glossy pickled pepper salad is ready!
Step 6
Enjoy this delightful pickled pepper salad, characterized by its clean, spicy, and sweet flavor profile. It’s a fantastic addition to any meal, especially when you’re craving something to liven up your appetite and make you want more rice! Enjoy! ^^
