STEP 2/8
tapping balloon flower petals
It's better to pat the peeled bellflower roots gently. It's good to eat and the seasoning gets absorbed well.
Make it soft by gently pressing or tapping with a bat or knife. If you tap it too hard, it might break.
STEP 3/8
If the bat is hard, please cut it with a scallion knife. If you don't have a green onion slicer, you can slightly cut it with a knife. If you cut it like this, it gives a soft texture and cuts the seasoning well.
STEP 4/8
The balloon flower is ready
STEP 5/8
Let's make the sauce.
Add 4T of red pepper paste, 2T of red pepper powder, 2T of soy sauce, 2T of sugar, 1T of minced garlic, 1t of sesame oil, and sesame seeds and mix well.
You don't have to add sesame oil. I'm going to grill it with sesame oil later.
STEP 6/8
Season the bellflower with the sauce.
Add the seasoning to the prepared balloon flower and mix well so that the seasoning is well cut.
Leave it for about 10 minutes and the seasoning will cut well.
STEP 7/8
Grilling it
Cover the frying pan with sesame oil, place the bellflower on top and bake over low heat. You can only burn it if you grill it on high heat. It has to be on low heat.
You don't have to cook it too long. Bake until lightly browned. If you grill it too much, the crunchy texture disappears and it becomes watery. I think it's better if you grill it just enough to bring out the crunchy texture.
STEP 8/8
You can cut the chives and put them on top of the grilled bellflower root and red pepper paste.
