Korean Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix oil, sugar, ketchup and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 24 hours.
• Place egg in a pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Cover pot and let egg stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from water, cool, peel and slice.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until evenly brown. Drain and crumble.
• In a large bowl, mix eggs, bacon, spinach, water chestnuts, bean sprouts and mushrooms. Toss with dressing just before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in sesame seeds, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until seeds are brown, about 5 minutes. Remove seeds with a slotted spoon, and stir into vinegar mixture. Mix in cucumber, green onions, and carrot. Cover, and refrigerate at least 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add carrots during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Place cucumber slices in a strainer and sprinkle with salt, coating the slices. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Thoroughly rinse cucumbers and transfer to a stack of paper towels or a dry kitchen towel. Give them a good squeeze until most of the moisture is removed. This is an important step if you don't want to end up with a runny dressing.
• Cut hard-boiled eggs in half, and set aside 1/2 of 1 yolk. Cut egg whites and remaining yolks into small pieces.
• Place potatoes and carrots in a large bowl. Mash gently by pressing down with the back of a spoon until mostly mashed, but still a bit chunky. Mix in chopped egg, cucumber, red onion, apple, and black pepper.
