Ingredients
  

  • Broccoli
  • Broccolini
  • Asparagus
  • Green beans
  • Bok choy
  • Carrots
  • Korean soy bean sprouts
  • Gochujang
  • Garlic
  • Lemon or lime juice
  • Agave nectar
  • Rice vinegar
  • Gochugaru optional
  • Soy sauce
  • Sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing your vegetables. Cut the broccoli, broccolini, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Snap the bottom off the asparagus and trim the ends of the green beans. Rinse the bok choy and set aside.
  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the hard vegetables (broccoli, carrots, asparagus, and green beans) for about 1 minute. Add the leafy vegetables (bok choy) for less than a minute. Drain the vegetables and rinse them with cold water to halt the cooking process.
  • In a separate pot, boil the Korean soy bean sprouts in salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • For the chojang dressing, mix together gochujang, minced garlic, lemon or lime juice, agave nectar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and optional gochugaru in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • In a serving dish, layer the blanched vegetables, placing those that require more cooking time at the bottom. Pour the chojang dressing over the layered vegetables, ensuring even distribution.
  • Top with crushed sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately or allow it to chill for a bit before serving.
