Onions in cooking are used in raw, boiled, fried, pickled and salted types. Although to preserve all the useful properties, minimal thermal exposure is recommended. Onions can be both a flavor seasoning for the main dish (and it is combined with meat, fish, rice, potatoes, flour products, cottage cheese, and other vegetables), and the basis of the recipe. Many national cuisines have their own “branded” culinary products, in which onions can be called a key ingredient: French onion soup, British onion pie, etc. There are some culinary tricks that will allow you to cook this product (or a dish based on it) as tasty as possible: If you add a little granulated sugar to the oil during frying, the onions will brown better. So that the chopped onion does not burn during sauteing, before sending it to the frying pan, you should roll the “straw” in flour. Then it will simply acquire a reddish hue. Onions can be added to minced meat not only to improve the taste, but also to extend the shelf life of the meat part. To get rid of onion bitterness in the manufacture of salads, raw onions are slightly scalded with boiling water, and hands and knife are smeared with wet salt.
When choosing onions, preference should be given to dense clean heads, without damage, holes and stains. The sweetness-bitterness of a vegetable depends not only on the variety, but also on the length of daylight in the place of cultivation (southern onions are considered sweeter), the mineral content of the soil, the softness of the climate, the abundance of precipitation, etc. For example, with a large amount of annual precipitation, sulfur is actively washed out of the soil, which creates prerequisites for growing a sweeter vegetable. However, in general, it is believed that white varieties have a stronger flavor and are better suited for filling pies, red and purple ones have a sweet taste and are well combined in salads and marinades, and the Spanish variety is softer and sweeter, as well as onions with yellow–brown husks are better suited for frying.
Carrots in Korean are familiar and loved by many. The first to disappear from the festive tables. And the addition of pickled cucumber will make this salad even more piquant, interesting to taste. PS: I’ll make a reservation, it has an indirect relation to Korean cuisine, but in Russia they associate it with snacks, this is the most “Korean” salad.
There are many recipes for cooking this dish. I suggest one of the time-consuming options, where we will not ignore all the subtleties of its preparation.
Korean carrot salad with three ingredients. I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for a long time and finally not only cooked it, but also photographed it.
Many people like carrots in Korean. How could it be otherwise? It’s so delicious, spicy, crispy. But not quite useful: in the traditional version, vinegar, sugar, a lot of oil are added, and in some recipes carrots are even pre-fried, which is why such a useful vegetable loses a lot of vitamins. My carrots in Korean are very similar to traditional, but much healthier.
An unusual, spicy dish. The perfect combination of ingredients! The salad is really delicious, nutritious, flavorful. Fans of mushrooms and Korean carrots will like it.
Since Korean salads have become fashionable, I think almost every family has its own recipe for cooking carrots in Korean. Want to offer your own version.
