Oi naengguk is another simple but popular Korean side dish, perfect for summer. The seasoning in this recipe could be changed a little according to your taste, more sugar if you like it sweeter, or more chili peppers if you like it spicier. (I went for more red hot chili pepper)
Ingredients: Cucumber, garlic, green chili pepper, red hot chili pepper, green onion , 1½ tbs vinegar, 1 ts salt, 1 ts fish sauce, 1 ts sugar, 1½ cup of cold water (purified or boiled and cooled down), and 3 ice cubes.
- Get a bowl ready, one that can hold more than 2 cups.
- Put about 1¼ cups of cucumber, cut into thin strips (julienne style), into the bowl.
- Mince one clove of garlic, chop up half a green onion, and cut up 1 or 2 ts worth of green chili pepper (depending on how hot you like it). Add them to the cucumber strips in the bowl.
- Add 1 ts of salt, 1 ts of fish sauce, 1 ½ tbs of vinegar, 1 ts of sugar to the bowl and mix it well with a spoon.
- Pour 1½ cup of cold water (purified or boiled and cooled down) to the bowl and mix it.
- Add 6 ice cubes.
- Cut some red hot chili pepper to garnish and sprinkle on the top of the soup.
- Serve it with rice.
