Gol-bang-ee Salad

Last year my friend, MiYoung, shared this salad with me. It makes me think of summer and it is really refreshing. Gol-bang-ee is the Korean word for sea snails and the @ symbol.

If you cannot find sea snails, the salad is good without them, or you could try octopus or squid.


Gol-bang-ee Salad

1 can sea snails, rinsed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 English cucumber, sliced thinly
1 carrot, thinly sliced
3 green onions, cut in 3" pieces and cut in half
1 lb of kuk su noodles, cooked, drained and rinsed with cold water
3 c romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
3 - 4 shiso (perilla) leaves, cut into pieces (shiso can be hard to find; I used a handful of arugula instead)

Combine the above ingredients and toss with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Sauce
Mix:
3 T red pepper paste
1 T red pepper flakes
1 T soy sauce
3 T rice vinegar
3 T sugar
1 T sesame oil

CSA Season Is Here Again

Today is the first day of our summer CSA. I'm so excited to get fresh, locally-grown produce all summer. This summer our family will be sharing a large "Veggie Lover's" share with another family. We will alternate weeks for pick up and consumption. Next week is our pick-up week, so be ready for  more photos and recipes!
