Zucchini Side Dish / Hobak Namul

Описание: What is fascinating about Korean cooking is their versatility. This great combination of colors and flavors- when it’s cooked just until zucchini has a bit of crunchy texture. Traditional zucchini banchan is cooked with dried shrimp and I upgraded it by adding frozen shrimp to this dish. Plating it in a fancy plate or bowl makes a great main dish, not a side dish.

Ingredients
1 zucchini, sliced in 1.5cm thick
1 cup small frozen shrimp
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 red chili, sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon salted shrimp(saewoojeot), can be substitute to 1 teaspoon of fish sauce

Kelp stock
3cm by 5cm dried kelp
1 cup hot water

Instructions
1. In a small bowl or jar, add dried kelp and pour hot water. Set aside for at least 20 minutes to cook and to make a stock.
2. Cut the zucchini lengthwise and cut into 1.5cm thick. Thinly slice garlic and red chili.
3. Assemble zucchini, frozen shrimp in a pot. Pour stock to half submerge the ingredients. Add salt and saewoojeot(salted shrimp) to the pot. Cover and bring it to a boil.
4. When boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add garlic and chili and cook until zucchini is barely cooked.
5. Turn off the heat. Plate either in a small bowl to serve as side dish(banchan) or in a plate.
