Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 serving of capellini pasta
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/3 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1.5 tablespoons Cheongyang chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon palm sugar
  • 5 ice cubes
  • A little salt
  • A little furikake
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Score the tomatoes with a cross, blanch them in boiling water for about 1 minute, then rinse in cold water and peel.
  2. Cook the capellini pasta in the tomato blanching water. Once cooked, rinse thoroughly under cold water and drain.
  3. Slice the onion and cucumber thinly. Set aside the cucumber seeds and vegetable scraps for the sauce.
  4. In a blender, combine the blanched tomatoes, vegetable scraps, minced garlic, Cheongyang chili powder, soy sauce, chili oil, white balsamic vinegar, palm sugar, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth.
  5. Mix the blended sauce well, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt to your preference.
  6. Place the cooked pasta in a bowl, top with sliced cucumber and onion, then pour the chilled tomato sauce generously over it.
  7. Sprinkle with furikake and drizzle with sesame oil for a nutty finish.
  1. Blanch tomatoes, peel them, and cook the pasta in the same water. Rinse pasta under cold water.
  2. Slice onion and cucumber. Blend scraps with tomatoes, seasonings, and ice.
  3. Top the pasta with vegetables, pour the sauce, and finish with furikake and sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The finished tomato sauce tastes even better when chilled for a day in the refrigerator, allowing the chili powder to meld and deepen the flavor.
  • If you don't prefer the texture of cucumber, you can use washed and julienned aged kimchi or white kimchi as a topping; it pairs very well.
