Ingredients

1 cup dried toraji (bellflower roots)

1 tablespoon salt

1/4 teaspoon Korean red pepper powder

1/2 teaspoon kochujang (Korean red pepper paste)

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. In a bowl, soak the roots in water overnight, rinse, and squeeze dry. Tear the roots into long, thin strips, using a paring knife. Rub 1 tablespoon salt into the roots using your hands to remove the bitterness of the roots. Rinse with water and squeeze out excess water. In a bowl, combine the roots with the remaining ingredients. Mix well.

This recipe was good, but not the flavor I'm used to. Tasted more vinegary and color not as red (with pepper paste as I'm used to). I would make again if I couldn't find a more traditional recipe.
