Korean carrots have firmly entered our cuisine and have already become an integral ingredient in many salads. Previously, our hostesses did not dare to cook this delicious appetizer at home and bought it ready-made in the market. Now many people make it themselves and share the recipes with others. You will learn more about how to cut carrots for this popular dish in this manual.
It is necessary
- • Fresh carrots;
- • a cutting device or a sharp kitchen knife and cutting board.
Instructions
Step 1
Before slicing carrots for Korean salad, wash and peel the root vegetables thoroughly. Cut off the tails and bottoms. The carrots are ready for shredding.
Step 2
It is best if you already have a special Korean carrot slicer. To do this, simply place it in the food bowl in which you will prepare the snack. Place the carrots with their side in relation to the grater at the most acute angle so that when cutting, strips up to 5-8 cm long come out. Don't try to rub every carrot to the end. This will result in straws of different lengths and the aesthetic appearance of the appetizer will be slightly spoiled. Use leftover carrots for other dishes
Step 3
If you haven't purchased a carrot shredder yet, that's okay. Carrots can also be sliced by hand. Try to choose root crops of those varieties that have a shape close to cylindrical. These include carotel, Nantes, vitamin and others. Using a sharp vegetable slicer, cut each carrot lengthwise into 2-3 mm thick plates. If the carrots are long enough, cut the plates across, but not shorter than 5 cm. Now fold several plates of the same size together and chop them along the long side into strips no more than 2-3 mm thick. You should have straws that are nearly the same length and square. Now the sliced carrots are ready for the Korean snack that all Russians love.
