- Hi, everybody.
Today, I'm going to share a really quick
and simple and of course delicious recipe for Gochu-bokkeum,
stir fried green chili peppers.
But today's green chili peppers are mild.
It's called Shishito peppers.
In Korean, kkwari-gochu.
This is kkwari-gochu,
kind of a wrinkly, mild, green chili pepper.
I got this from my local grocery store.
This is one of the recipes that you don't have to worry
about special Korean cooking ingredients.
Let's get started.
(plastic rustling)
I remove these stems.
Measure eight ounces.
Eight ounces,
and wash. (water running)
I'm going to cut into bite-size pieces.
And put them back.
And then, we need to coat with flour.
Just one tablespoon.
Mix this.
Okay.
And then, let's heat up the skillet.
So medium high heat.
My skillet is heated and I'm going to add some cooking oil.
This is grape seed oil.
Add.
(oil sizzling)
You don't have to stir this.
The bottom side, there should be a little kind of crunch.
Meanwhile, let's mince garlic and onion.
Half a cup chopped onion.
I think this is.
(timer rings)
Okay two minutes passed, flip it over.
Like this.
Little crunchy.
Press down.
Come back to onion.
And garlic.
I cooked about two more minutes.
Garlic and onion.
Turn down the heat to medium.
We're going to add some seasoning,
two tablespoons soy sauce.
Wow, smells good.
Some water comes out from the onion,
so that it looks shiny and nice.
No sugar.
I made this recipe without using sugar.
Sugarless. (chuckles)
It is lightly coated with the flour, so see?
They're shiny and look so good.
Keep stirring until onions are little translucent.
Turn off.
Sesame oil, two teaspoon.
So you guys are learning Korean cooking for a long time,
you know, some of you.
At this point, what do you want to sprinkle on top?
Anybody knows the answer?
Yes, sesame seeds.
This is toasted sesame seeds.
Here you go.
Gochu-bokkeum.
Gochu-bokkeum done.
Just we made so quickly, right?
Always eat with rice.
So because I added two tablespoons soy sauce,
you should eat with rice.
Mm.
Surprisingly sweet because of onion.
Even a few years ago,
I couldn't find this kind of peppers
at a local grocery store.
But, these days just a local grocery market sells this.
So you guys can go to any grocery store, find this,
and make this side dish.
The other day I saw them,
one lady was just in front of these peppers
and she seems to be really thinking about how to cook.
I really want to say: "Hey, you know?
How to cook, this is the way.
They're really delicious."
I really want to say.
If she asked me, probably I will tell her
all kind of long story.
Today, we made Gochu-bokkeum together.
Enjoy my recipe.
See you next time.
Bye.
