Main Ingredients- 100g Mi-in Gochu peppers (approx. 10-15 peppers)
Dressing Ingredients- 1 Tbsp Doenjang (fermented soybean paste)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp coarse gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp Doenjang (fermented soybean paste)
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp coarse gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the Mi-in Gochu peppers thoroughly and remove the stems. Slice them diagonally into about 0.5cm thick pieces. Slicing them at this thickness will help maintain their crispness and prevent a raw taste. Ensure the pieces are uniform in size for even seasoning.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of Doenjang, 0.5 Tbsp of sugar, 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic, and 0.5 Tbsp of coarse gochugaru. Mix these ingredients well to create the base dressing. You can adjust the amount of sugar and gochugaru according to your preference for sweetness and spiciness.
Step 3
Add the sliced Mi-in Gochu peppers to the prepared dressing. Gently toss and mix to ensure the peppers are evenly coated with the seasoning. Be careful not to overmix or mash the peppers, as this will diminish their refreshing crunch. Finally, stir in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds. Mix lightly one more time. Your delicious Mi-in Gochu Doenjang Muchim is now ready to be served!
