Main Ingredients

  • 2 Potatoes
  • 2 Mini Bell Peppers (use a variety of colors for visual appeal)
  • 20g Red Cabbage (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 Tbsp Coarse Salt (for boiling potatoes)

Seasoning Ingredients

  • 0.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce (or Korean soup soy sauce; adjust if using traditional Korean soy sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp Plum Extract (adjust sweetness to your preference)
  • 0.5 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes; adjust spiciness to taste)
  • 0.5 Tbsp Sesame Seeds or Crushed Sesame Seeds

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, wash all the ingredients thoroughly and prepare them. Careful preparation is the start of a delicious dish.

Step 1

Step 2

Peel the potatoes, wash them, and then julienne them into strips about 0.3 cm thick. Avoid cutting them too thinly, as uniform thickness ensures even cooking and a pleasant texture.

Step 2

Step 3

Remove the seeds from the mini bell peppers and julienne them thinly. Similarly, thinly julienne the red cabbage. Adding colorful vegetables will make the dish visually appealing.

Step 3

Step 4

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of coarse salt to season the water. Once boiling, add the julienned potatoes and blanch them for about 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.

Step 4

Step 5

Immediately drain the blanched potato juliennes and rinse them briefly under cold water to cool them down. Then, drain them thoroughly in a colander. Any remaining water can make the salad watery, so you can gently press them with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the drained potato juliennes with the julienned mini bell peppers and red cabbage.

Step 6

Step 7

Add the prepared seasoning ingredients: 0.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp plum extract, 0.5 Tbsp gochugaru, and 0.5 Tbsp sesame seeds.

Step 7

Step 8

If you desire a richer flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of soy sauce or plum extract according to your preference. Adding a small amount of minced garlic can also enhance the umami flavor, so consider this. (Note: Traditional temple food often omits garlic and green onions.)

Step 8

Step 9

Gently toss everything together, being careful not to break the potato juliennes, until well combined. Toss lightly to avoid tangling the vegetables. Your delicious potato julienne salad is ready!
