Seasoned Green Pepper Leaves / 凉拌辣椒叶 / 고춧잎 무침

Dear friends, do you know that the leaves of every species of  green pepper are edible? In Korea, we do eat the fresh and  dried green pepper leaves .
Chili peppers originated in the Americas. After the Columbian Exchange, many cultivars of chili pepper spread across the world, used in both food and medicine. Chilies were brought to Asia by Portuguese navigators during the 16th century.

亲爱的朋友们, 您可知道辣椒叶是可以食用的 ?在韩国, 我们都品尝新鲜和晒干的辣椒叶。
辣椒起源於美洲。在哥倫布大交換之後,辣椒開始遍佈全球,可作食用和藥用。在16世紀葡萄牙人航海時,辣椒傳入亞洲。

                    These green pepper leaves are from my weekend farm~~
                    这是从我周末菜园采回来的辣椒叶~~


                               Blanch the leaves in the boiling water ~~
                               将叶子在热水中轻轻的烫一烫~~

                                Remove from the boiling water and wash it in the running cold water.
                                 从热水中取出叶子, 在清水中洗一洗。



Squeeze out the water and marinate it with the sesame oil for about 30 minutes before we add in the sauce, this will help to get rid off the mild odor of the leaves ~~
挤出水份,在还未拌入酱料之前,先加入麻油腌上30分钟,这能去除辣椒叶本身含有轻微的一股味道~~
