korean carrots

Spicy Korean carrots made with a mix of garlic, coriander, hot oil, and other great spices.

Spicy Korean Carrots

2.2 lbs julienned carrots

salt

Tbsp sugar

tsp smoked paprika (or regular)

cayenne pepper

tsp coriander seeds

garlic (peeled & pressed)

tsp black pepper

white vinegar

onion

olive oil (heated until almost smoking)

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

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

Prepare the oil &amp; 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.

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.

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.

Korean Carrot Salad

lbs carrots

tbsp sugar

tbsp red wine vinegar

garlic

tbsp sunflower oil

onion (diced (I used red onions))

coriander seeds (cracked)

Grate carrots in long strips or julienne them on a mandoline. The traditional recipe uses long square shaped carrot strips.

Dice the onion and crack coriander seeds in a mortar. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and fry the onions with cracked coriander seeds and cayenne pepper over low heat for about 10 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly caramelised.

In a medium bowl combine salt, sugar, red wine vinegar and minced garlic, add carrots to the marinade and then add cooked onions and spices. Mix well and let it chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours to allow the flavours to meld.
