Korean-Style Tomatoes in a Jar
Description
Suitable for both special occasions and everyday meals. Korean-style tomatoes are great as a standalone dish or paired with baked or fried meat, fish, or grilled sausages. The appetizer has a contrasting flavor—at once fiery and cooling. Because of this, you'll want to keep eating them again and again until the plate is empty. Serve the appetizer at the table.
