- 1 tsp sesame powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp corn syrup (mulyeot)
Recipe Steps:
- Using the blunt side of a knife, tenderly pound the bellflower roots (as you might a clove of garlic). Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix all of the ingredients (besides the bellflower roots).
- Put one teaspoon of water in a heavy skillet and preheat on medium high heat.
- Spread all the bellflower roots on the bottom of the pan in a single layer.
- Spread the sauce over the roots and cook 15- 20 minutes on medium heat, covered.
