Description

This quick and easy Korean-style salad is full of peppery, tangy notes. It pairs perfectly with barbecue short ribs or a flavorful bowl of bibimbap.

Ingredients

1 head red leaf lettuce
4 green onions (white part only)
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Directions

1 Cut lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place into a salad bowl. Thinly slice green onion whites lengthwise into long strips; if they curl as you slice them, they are perfectly thin. Add green onions to the salad bowl.
2 In a small mixing bowl, whisk soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
3 Just before serving, pour dressing over lettuce and green onions; toss until well coated.
