An unusual side dish featuring thickly sliced cucumbers simmered with a small amount of savory doenjang and chewy shrimp, then cooled for a refreshing bite.
Ingredients needed 3 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Never cook the cooked shrimp from the startโthis causes them to become tough. Instead, boil the cucumbers first for 2 minutes, then add the shrimp midway through.
- Cucumbers remain firm even after boiling for up to 6 minutes, transforming into a satisfyingly chewy yet crisp texture.
- Using only a small amount of doenjang as a base enhances the dish with a subtle, rich aroma and savory depth without any bitterness.
Recommended for
- Those looking for an alternative to regular red cucumber salad or pickled cucumber dishes.
- People seeking a light, clean-tasting side dish that pairs perfectly with rice, adding a moist, salty bite.
- Busy professionals who need a convenient, make-ahead side dish that can be stored in the fridge and easily grabbed when needed.
