Pickled Green Chili

Pickled Green Chili is a tangy and spicy Korean side dish that adds a burst of flavor to any meal. Its crisp texture and vibrant taste make it a perfect accompaniment for grilled meats and rice.

Ingredients

• Green chili peppers - 100 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• White vinegar - 50 ml
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon (15 grams)
• Salt - 1 teaspoon (6 grams)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, sliced
• Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Wash the green chili peppers thoroughly and remove the stems. If desired, slice them in half lengthwise for more flavor absorption.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the water, white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved, then remove from heat.
