 Grilled White Bait Sheets or “Baeng-eopo Gui” |
This is a yummy little side dish which can also be served as cocktail hors d’oeuvre. Either baking in an oven or grilling outdoors work equally well.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
2 sheets “BAENG-EOPO” (white bait sheet)
“YANGNYEOM GOCHUJANG” (Seasoned Chili Paste):
3 tablespoons “GOCHUJANG”
¾ tablespoon “GOCHUGARU”
2½ tablespoons SESAME OIL
2 teaspoons SESAME SEEDS
1 tablespoon SUGAR
1 tablespoon LEMON JUICE
1 GARLIC CLOVE, crushed fine
¼ teaspoon SALT
1. Prepare the Yangnyeom Gochujang (Seasoned Chili Paste). Spread the mixture sparingly with the back of a spoon on one side of the white bait sheet only.
2. Heat the oven to 350 F/177 C. Arrange a single layer on the baking sheet pan. Bake for about 4 minutes. Immediately lift the sheets from the pan. Let cool and divide into 12 with scissors.
