Seasoned bellflower root

도라지무침

What exactly is it?

Prepared balloon-flower roots are shredded and dressed with tangy chili seasoning. Their crisp, fibrous bite is central. This differs from pale sautéed doraji namul, emphasizing vinegar and chili instead.

Main ingredients

Prepared balloon-flower root, chili paste or powder, vinegar, sugar, garlic

Ordering and serving

Take small bites of the fibrous root. Cucumber may be mixed in, and a little bitterness beneath the sweet dressing is characteristic.

Origins and changes

It belongs to the use of gathered roots as seasoned side dishes. Doraji appears in both pale cooked namul and red dressed preparations, giving the same root different seasoning profiles.
