                    I was served this side salad at a few restaurants and loved its nutty flavor and utter simplicity. The key is roasted ground sesame seeds: Look for roasted ground sesame seeds at Korean markets. They're not ground to a powder but crushed a bit. You can make your own by toasting sesame seeds until deeply golden, allowing them to cool, and crushing with a mortar and pestle. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 1/2 tablespoons roasted ground sesame seeds  |  
                                                1 tablespoon coarsely ground korean chile (gochugaru)  |  
                                                1 1/2 tablespoons dark sesame oil  |

                    Directions:
