Korean Lettuce Salad
Report
This Korean Lettuce Salad is a wonderfully delicious side dish to any grilled meats – especially unseasoned grilled meats. The salty, vinegary and slightly sweet chili flavors really help break up any greasy taste of meats while still highlighting the meaty flavor.

Instructions
- Wash and rinse the greens (lettuce, perilla, chrysanthemum leaves). Drain. You can either tear the lettuce and chrysanthemum leaves by hand into bite size pieces or serve whole leaves.
- Cut perilla leaves into 1/3 in wide strips unless serving whole lettuce pieces. Set aside.
- Make my Korean dressing aka Kitchen Sink Yangnyeom Jang (see Korean Sauces II post for recipe) by mixing soy sauce, vinegar and sugar until the sugar fully dissolves. Mix in the remaining ingredients (below).
- Toss torn greens with Korean soy dressing and serve immediately or serve whole leaves and dressing on the side (see pic below). You can also allow your guest to dress their own salad or dip the lettuce in the sauce instead.
Notes
- Do not worry about drying the greens (i.e. no need to use salad spinners) because any extra water on the leaves will dilute the dressing to make it taste just right.
- This Korean soy dressing (Kitchen sink yangnyeom jang) works great for all kinds of greens. Romaine lettuce is one of my favorite because it’s a bit sweet and crunchy which stands up well to the salty soy dressing. Greens that have a more grassy and bitter taste (as opposed to iceberg lettuce which has little flavor) all work well with this dressing.
