Homemade Korean carrots with seasoning

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade carrots in Korean with seasoning? Very simple and easy. First, prepare the necessary ingredients on the list. Choose juicy and delicious carrots. Vegetable oil can take sunflower or olive oil to choose from. If you don't want the carrots to get too spicy, replace the hot pepper flakes with paprika or don't add anything at all. You can replace ordinary vinegar with white wine.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the carrots, peel them. The weight of peeled carrots should be 600 g, so take it with a margin. Grate the carrots on a special grater for Korean carrots. If there is no grater, you will have to cut it manually with a sharp knife.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the resulting carrot straws in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and lightly knead so that the carrots let the juice. The juicier the carrot itself, the more juice it will have. In this case, the straight rigid chips will become soft and pliable.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add garlic cloves passed through the press to the carrot.

6. Step 5:

   

   In a frying pan or a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil until the first bubbles appear on the surface. Add seasoning for Korean carrots, ground (or freshly ground) coriander, flakes of hot (or sweet) pepper to the pan. Warm everything together for 2-3 seconds and remove from the heat.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour hot oil with spices into carrots. Add vinegar, add ground black pepper and sugar. If carrots are already sweet, it is not necessary to add sugar. I added it because I like the more pronounced sweet taste.

8. Step 7:

   

   Mix the carrots thoroughly with the spices so that the spices and oil are evenly distributed throughout the carrot. Tighten the bowl with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. If there is no time to infuse at all, then at least hold it for 20 minutes so that the carrots cool down. Enjoy your meal!
