Steamed Chilies

Steamed Chilies

There are many different Korean side dishes made with seasonal summer produces. Out of all those, these steamed chilies are one of my favorites.

My mother used to make this quite often when there were a bounty of these little wrinkled chilies available in a local market. I could literally empty a bowl of rice with this side dish alone. It is full of flavor and nor overly spicy, just tender and so good!

So these are the specific type of chilies that you have to use for this recipe. If you go to Korean grocery store during spring and summer months, you can easily see these chilies. We call it Kkawri-gochu (꽈리고추).  These small wrinkled green chilies are mild chilies and perfect to enjoy as a side dishes that you can serve with rice.

The making of steamed chilies is quite simple. You need to poke each chili with a fork for even cooking during the steaming time. Toss the chilies with either plain flour or rice flour depends on your preference. Steam them until soft, then toss them with the seasonings. That’s it!

They are somewhat spicy but not overwhelmingly, though. You will love their gentle yet chewy texture.

Some dishes do bring some wonderful memories. As I was enjoying these steamed chiles, I could picture the scene of my family’s dinner table in my childhood along with all the summer fun I enjoyed with my sisters and friends.

And these humble steamed chilies on my rice bowl….?  Yes, they were also part of the scene as well.

  • 7 oz 200 g wrinkled Korean green chilies
  • 3 tablespoon plain flour or rice flour
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Korean soy sauce for soup

    I do so many different things with chillies but I would have never thought of steaming them. What a fantastic idea! (Actually one of our “standard” Swiss supermarkets carries exactly the same chillies all year round; they come from Italy or Spain, I don’t remember, but they look exactly the same, so I think I can test this dish quite soon).
