Gochujang-Sesame Edible Chrysanthemum Salad 芝麻辣酱拌茼蒿
With Edible Chrysanthemum (Shungiku in Japan, 茼蒿 Tong-Ho in Mandarin) , I usually think of making soup (yes, this is the vegetable that is popularly used in hotpots) or salad.
Today, this salad has a hint of spice imparted from Korean gochujang sauce-dressing. To deepen its flavor, sesame/tahini sauce was added, plus sprinkles of toasted sesame seeds.
This is an absolutely easy side-dish to make; and together with Korean Spicy Tofu or Korean Spicy Chilled Tofu (both easy side-dishes to make as well), pairs well with steamed rice.
