Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 3 bell peppers (for microwave namul)
  • 3 bell peppers (for pan-fried namul)

Seasonings

  • 2 tsp soy sauce (for microwave namul)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil (for microwave namul)
  • (to taste) toasted white sesame seeds (for microwave namul)
  • (a pinch) vinegar (for microwave namul)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (for pan-fried namul)
  • (a pinch) grated garlic (for pan-fried namul)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (for pan-fried namul)
  • (to taste) toasted white sesame seeds (for pan-fried namul)

Steps

  1. Make the microwave bell pepper namul. Cut the 3 bell peppers into slightly large pieces, keeping the stems and seeds intact.
  2. Place the cut bell peppers in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave.
  3. After microwaving, wipe away any excess moisture.
  4. In the bowl, combine the microwaved bell peppers with 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, toasted white sesame seeds to taste, and a pinch of vinegar if desired. Mix well. [Here's the trick!] Letting it sit for a bit allows the flavors to meld and makes it even more delicious.
  5. Next, make the pan-fried bell pepper namul. Cut the other 3 bell peppers in half lengthwise, keeping the stems and seeds, then thinly slice diagonally.
  6. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and add the thinly sliced bell peppers, including the stems and seeds, to stir-fry.
  7. Stir-fry until they are slightly charred and softened. [Here's the trick!] The seeds and membranes are also delicious.
  8. Once the bell peppers have softened, turn off the heat. Add a pinch of grated garlic, 1 tsp soy sauce, and toasted white sesame seeds to taste, then mix well. [Here's the trick!] Garlic and soy sauce pair wonderfully with bell peppers.
