Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use only 1 tablespoon of finely chopped red pepper powder—adding too much can make the dish feel heavy.
  • Do not prepare the pajeori ahead of time, as it will lose its freshness and release water; best prepared just before serving with grilled meat.
  • If using summer radish, which can be more pungent, increase the sugar to 1/2 tablespoon for better balance.
  • Adding a touch of anchovy sauce adds the umami compared to using salt alone.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to make a clean, refreshing pajeori to serve alongside grilled meat at home or at a campsite.
  • People wanting to eliminate the sticky juice and sharp spiciness from green onions.
  • Anyone interested in replicating the authentic umami-rich seasoning ratio used in Korean grill houses.
