Kim Dae-seok's Cucumber Pepper Doenjang Muchim

A super-simple rice thief side dish that stays crunchy even after a day, thanks to whole sesame seeds and gochugaru that absorb moisture from crisp cucumber chili peppers and refreshing onion.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding onion to the cucumber chili peppers adds a refreshing sweetness when you chew, enriching the flavor even more.
  • Including gochugaru and crushed sesame seeds in the seasoning absorbs the moisture released by the peppers over time, preventing sogginess.
  • Adding rice syrup mellows the thick, salty note typical of doenjang, smoothing out the overall taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who need a crunchy side dish to perk up appetite lost to summer heat.
  • Those who want to whip up a side dish in 5 minutes with no heat control needed.
  • Those looking for a clean substitute for ssamjang to serve alongside grilled pork belly or other barbecued meats.
