Step 2
Wash the bell pepper, dry it, remove seeds and stem. Cut the flesh into long strips. For a colorful salad, use peppers of different colors.

Prepare the dressing ingredients. Sesame oil can be replaced with any vegetable oil. Fresh garlic can be replaced with 1 tablespoon of dried garlic. Add spices to taste, but remember Korean carrots already have enough spices.

In a bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, and pressed garlic. Whisk thoroughly so the oil and soy sauce blend well.
