Copycat Korean Salad



Korean BBQ is one of the most delicious discoveries I've ever made. I tried it for the first time shortly after moving to the DC area, and I was not disappointed! The unique blend of spices and flavors make this cuisine irresistible. My very favorite Korean BBQ restaurant has this amazing salad that they serve before they bring out the meat. It's so delicious that I fill up on it before the meat even arrives. Then I'm super disciplined and don't eat any meat or rice! Just kidding. I have zero self-control when it comes to Korean food. The bright side of my gluttony is, I ate enough of the salad to figure out how to make it on my own! Here's how I do:

Ingredients:

2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp Korean red pepper flakes (I used the ones pictured, which I found at an international market)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame seeds

Toss ingredients together in a bowl. Divide between two plates and serve!
