Hello friends. Today our hero is the legendary Korean carrot. I am sure that there are almost no readers among our readers who remain indifferent to this appetizer. She became a part of our childhood and still fits perfectly into everyday and festive feasts. This appetizer is also not always prepared in the same way. Each housewife supplements the basic recipe with spices and herbs to her taste, and from this it not only changes, but changes dramatically.
Korean carrots are often cooked with onions or celery to add spice and flavor. But about the intricacies of the recipe a little later, but for now a few words about the history of the dish.
In the classic version, Korean carrot salad does not always involve onions. And even vice versa, initially it is just a carrot cut into thin and long strips with the addition of vegetable oil and seasonings, most often cilantro. This is how the Korean immigrants invented it, and this is how it has come down to us since 1937, the year of its birth. Today, Korean carrots are also most often found without onions, and that is why we chose such an unusual, but rest assured, a very successful combination. So, Korean carrots with onions is our recipe.
First of all, we will prepare the necessary products
We peel the carrots and rub them on a special grater
In a mortar we grind all the spices: salt, sugar, dried coriander, as well as various peppers
Now we chop the onion
Fry the onions in vegetable oil until golden brown
Pour in spices and mix the appetizer well with your hands
And now it's time to use the vegetable oil on which the onions were fried: you just need to pour it into the carrots
We squeeze the garlic through a press and also send it to the carrot
We add vinegar to the snack and mix well again
In principle, such a Korean carrot with onions can be prepared for the winter, or you can immediately serve it to the table. We eat right away and wish everyone bon appetit
This salad will definitely be a great addition to any meal. Delicious, aromatic and even healthy carrots - this is how it happens. It is impossible not to note the presence of vinegar and hot spices in the recipe, and therefore it is not desirable to include such carrots in the diet of children and people with a weak stomach. For everyone else, it is an excellent side dish, a wonderful salad, and even an irreplaceable snack. Take note and eat to your health.
