Step 1

Shred carrots: Start by peeling and julienning carrots using a julienne slicer.

Step 2

Mix: Now to a bowl add everything, but olive oil and onions. Mix and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the oil & onion: Heat the oil in a skillet, add diced onions and saute until the onions are golden in color. Move skillet off heat and tilt it to the side allowing the hot oil to pool at the bottom. Pour 1/2 cup of the hot oil into a measuring cup with a long handle, or a small saucepot with a long handle. The oil must be thoroughly heated until almost smoking before adding to the salad. Discard the remainder of oil and onions or use them for a different recipe.

Step 4

Add the oil into the carrots a little bit at a time, mixing with a large fork after each addition. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Step 5

The Spicy Korean Carrots are done and ready to be consumed. It is recommended that they marinate for at least 6-12 hours before eating though, for best flavor profile. To store, transfer to a closed container and keep in fridge up to a week.
