This is alright but not great. The recipe should specify RICE vinegar as white vinegar is to pungent. There should also be some honey as is traditionally use in Korea. The sesame seeds don't need to be fried just toast them in a dry pan. Replace the vegetable oil with dark sesame oil and add directly to the sauce mixture.

This is excellent. The second time I made it I used sesame oil instead of vegetable Rice vinegar and added some Gari (pickled ginger) Brought it to work and everyone raved!

This was a nice refreshing and easy "banchan" (korean sidedish). I often make it without the carrots but increase the green onion. I like it with a little bit of sugar added but it's nice as is.

This was really yummy. We made it a whole meal by pairing it with two other recipes from this site Korean BBQ Beef and Korean squash as well as some jasmine rice. I added about 1tsp of sugar and next time I won't use quite as much red pepper flakes...Rachel

I really liked this dish. I used carrot sticks in mine and marinated mine for several hours before serving. I will have to cut down on the red pepper flakes next time because it was a tad bit too spicy for me but I will be making this again. Oh and I got ahead of myself and didn't saute the sesame seeds (just threw all the ingredients in a container) oops. But it still came out good. It was the perfect compliment to rice and beef bulgogi also from this site. Thanks!

This was great. I used rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic chili sauce instead of white vinegar, vegetable oil and red pepper flakes. It turned out perfect!

I can't speak to the authenticity of this recipe having never experienced the real thing before but I know what I like and the dressing for this salad was far too astringent. I would increase the oil and choose sesame over vegetable use rice vinegar and add a teaspoon or two of sugar. Otherwise the dressing is extremely unbalanced resulting in something tart and sour.

I really liked this recipe - cukes carrots with a twist. I added a little zucchini and red pepper since they were left over in the fridge. I served it with BBQ chicken and thought it was a nice refreshing yet spicy side.

This was very tasty and a good side dish to serve with Korean BBQ Beef from this site.
