Sweet corn salad is a popular side dish that Western restaurants such as KFC and Pizza Hut serve in Korea. It might seem strange since this recipe is not served in the USA, but many Western restaurants change their menu according to local tastes. That means this recipe is a Korean styled dish, even though it was popularized by Western restaurants. The flavor is very good when eating greasy food. The onion and sweet pepper, in a sweet and sour sauce, helps to remove the oily taste from your mouth. It also can be good as an appetizer or side dish for other kinds of food. π

Hi, may I know what type of vinegar to use? Must it be either brown rice or apple vinegar? Or any type of vinegar will do?
hi Mei Ling,
I used Korean brand, Sempio… apple vinegar.. ^^ but you can use other vinegar you have also..
Is there an alternative i can use for mayonnaise?
hi Judie,
Mayonnaise is the main flavoring ingredient.. so I don’t know what you can replace to it. ^^;; Because then it will change the flavor.
I used Miracle Whip, which tasted great to me, but then it would change the taste from the original. I’m just not a big mayo person, so I usually use MW when I can get away with it! I also don’t like red bell pepper, so I just put in extra green pepper. Not as festive, but I thought it was good : )
hi Katarina,
I’m glad to hear that you adjusted some of the ingredients on your taste and liked the result. π Thanks
I visited my daughter at Ewha Uni in January 2017. She took me to a restraint that served this with pork cutlet twice. I love this corn salad, your recipe tastes exactly the same!!! I have made it several times and the memories of my wonderful visit come flooding back!!!
