Spicy Sweet Potato Salad (Saengchae)
Hello, I'm Daldalhan Nette.
This time, I'd like to introduce a slightly different sweet potato dish.
Sweet potatoes are mainly steamed and eaten as snacks or made into dessert dishes, but today I'm going to introduce a recipe that's great to use as a side dish.
Because it's a "saengchae" (fresh salad), it's not cooked, so the texture is crunchy and you can taste the sweetness. If you add red pepper powder to add spiciness and seasonings to add savory flavor, it becomes a different kind of taste from other saengchae.
I'll show you how to make delicious sweet potato saengchae muchim (seasoned salad) with a combination of crunchy texture and sweet taste.
Ingredients
+ Tablespoon = 10g / Cup = Paper cup (180ml)
Sweet potatoes 2 (400g)
Pickled Japanese Apricot 1/2 cup (optional)
Seasoning (Tablespoon)
Red pepper powder 2
Apple vinegar 2
Plum extract 1
Starch syrup 1
Fish sauce 1
Salt 1/3
Sesame oil 1/2
Sesame seeds 1/2
Instructions
1. Slice the sweet potatoes
I'm going to use 2 sweet potatoes. Remove the skin using a peeler. Two of these will serve 3-4 people for one or two meals.
Slice the sweet potatoes with a slicer or knife. Not too thin or too thick. If it's too thin, it'll be soft, and if it's too thick, it'll be hard, so 0.4~0.5cm is appropriate.
2. Remove the starch
Soak the sliced sweet potatoes in water to remove the starch. This prevents browning and improves the texture.
After putting it in water, soak it for about 10 minutes, rub it several times, rinse it again, and drain the water. You need to remove as much water as possible so that the seasoning adheres well.
3. Add color
First, add 2 tablespoons of red pepper powder to the drained sweet potatoes to add color.
4. Seasoning
If the color has been added, add the remaining seasonings and mix. At this time, if you have pickled plum, try adding it together. I've only added plum extract before, but I sliced the pickles and added them together, and it tasted sweet and sour.
Add 1 tablespoon of tuna or anchovy fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of apple or regular vinegar, 1 tablespoon of plum extract, 1 tablespoon of starch syrup, and 1/3 tablespoon of salt, mix, and mix evenly.
If the seasoning is insufficient, add a little more fish sauce or salt to adjust. Adding fish sauce adds savory flavor and goes well with the sweetness of sweet potatoes.
5. Finishing
When the seasoning is finished, add a little sesame oil and sesame seeds and mix to complete. This autumn side dish is complete, which you can enjoy neatly without a greasy taste.
[Cooking Point]
???? Removing the starch well keeps it crunchy and clean.
???? If you don't have pickled plum, you can just add plum extract.
???? When mixing, mix gently so that the sweet potato slices do not break.
Make delicious sweet potato saengchae, which is delicious as a side dish or with meat.^^
