Korean Carrot Salad
This dish is very popular in my country, it’s a must for any holiday. The funny thing is that in Korea this salad doesn’t exist, but it was made by Koreans who immigrated to Russia in the 1860s.
This is a marinated salad with fresh carrot as the main ingredient and seasoned with oil, vinegar, fresh garlic, coriander seeds, and cayenne pepper. There are many recipes for this salad, as always you can use the spices depending on your taste or you can just buy ready made spice packets which I usually do when I’m in Russian store. Since my husband loves this salad even spicier, I add even more hot cayenne peppers.
This salad can be served as a snack or used in the preparation to other dishes, such as meat salad with Korean carrots or mixed carrots with pickled mushrooms and chicken, or simple just serve with rice… there are a lot of options! It’s complements many dishes well.
