Korean Chinese Style Warm Gizzard Salad

Ingredients

In this Korean Chinese adaptation, the traditional French warm gizzard salad is given a spicy twist by incorporating Korean Chinese flavors. The original French recipe typically uses a vinaigrette dressing, while the Korean Chinese version features a spicy dressing with ingredients like gochujang (Korean chili paste) and soy sauce. Additionally, the salad is served warm instead of cold, which is a characteristic of Korean Chinese cuisine. We alse have the original recipe for Salade chaude aux gésiers, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Gizzards — Make sure to cook the gizzards until they are tender. You can test their doneness by piercing them with a fork. If they are soft and easily pierced, they are ready to be sliced.

Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of gochujang in the dressing.
• Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots for additional crunch and flavor.
• For a more authentic Korean Chinese experience, serve the salad with a side of kimchi.
