When you want to eat a lot of vegetables, try this.
5 lettuce leaves
10 sprigs of cilantro
2 small cucumbers
Wash them all thoroughly and slice thinly
Basic seasoning for vegetable salad (korean style)
3-4 pinches of salt
1T whole sesame seeds (Sprinkle lightly)
1T sesame oil (Sprinkle lightly)
1t korean soy sauce (Adjust the seasoning little by little)
1T Korean red pepper powder
1T apple cider vinegar
You can skip the vinegar and just use salt, red pepper powder, sesame seeds, and sesame oil.
You can season with only soy sauce instead of salt.
If you add vinegar, it becomes a very refreshing vegetable salad--similar to how olive oil and lemon juice are used together in Western cuisine.
This salad also pairs well with meat dishes.
If you buy a bunch of lettuce, a bunch of cilantro, and a bag of small cucumbers and wash them, you can enjoy plenty of fresh vegetables for 3-4days.
These three vegetables wilt quickly with salt or soy sauce, so it's easy to season and enjoy a large amount in no time.
Any leafy vegetable with thin leaves can be used as an alternative.
With beet greens from the garden, 4 stalks of green onion, and 1/8 of an onion, you can easily make a fresh vegetable salad by slicing them thinly.
The beet greens survived the cold snap in January and are still being harvested and eaten through February.
A fresh vegetable salad with plenty of green onions pairs perfectly with oven roasted pork belly like this. (I'll share the oven- roasted pork belly recipe next time.)
Fresh vegetable salad is my favorite vegetable side dish after Kimchi. If cucumbers are added, it becomes a great vegetable side dish on it's own. When grilling meat, if you thinly slice a generous amount of green onions and season them, they become pa-jeori, the best side dish to pair with meat, even surpassing kimchi. My fresh vegetable salad is lighter and less sweet compared to American-style salads, as it doesn't include cheese or sugar. Instead, it becomes a flavorful vegetable side dish where the natural taste of the ingredients shines through, thanks to the combination of mineral-rich sea salt, savory Korean soy sauce, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, red pepper powder, and vinegar.
On days when you crave plenty of fresh vegetables, you can simply pick up 2-3 kinds of vegetables , give them a quick rinse, and enjoy a delicious vegetable side dish made with just five seasonings.
