Korean carrots can be made in different ways; there are many recipes for cooking. They differ in the composition of spices, the proportions of ingredients, and the method of processing the oil. If you wish, you can try different recipes and choose the most optimal one for yourself, because everyone has different tastes. In this article I will write a recipe for Korean carrots at home, which my family likes the most.

By the way, the amount of spices and vinegar can be changed to your taste. Try the prepared salad and add the ingredient you are missing. It's always better to put in less at first and then adjust to taste.

This is interesting! In Korea there is no such salad, which we call Korean carrots. This recipe was invented in the USSR. Koreans sold such carrots in markets, which is why it got its name. It is believed that you must put coriander in Korean carrots. Store-bought versions always contain monosodium glutamate (flavor enhancer). It is considered an unhealthy additive.

Korean-style carrots, just like in the store.

For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:

  • carrots - 1 kg
  • garlic - 4 cloves
  • paprika - 1 tsp.
  • ground hot red pepper - 1/3 tsp.
  • coriander - 2 tsp.
  • sugar - 1.5 - 2 tbsp.
  • salt - 0.5 tbsp.
  • refined vegetable oil - 100 ml
  • vinegar 70% - 0.5 tbsp. (or 3.5 tbsp. 9%)

A method for preparing successful Korean carrots.

1. For this salad, it is better to take thick carrots, so it will be more convenient to grate them. You need to grate it using a Korean carrot grater. If you don't have such a grater, buy one. They are sold in all kitchenware stores. If you make it on a regular coarse grater, the salad will taste different and the appearance will not be so presentable.

You can go a more complicated route: cut the carrots into slices using a vegetable peeler, and then use a knife to cut these slices into thin strips. Grate the carrots into a large bowl for easy mixing.

2. When all the carrots are grated, add sugar and salt. First add 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, it is better to add it later if necessary. Different carrots have different sweetness, so the amount of sugar in each individual case may vary. And salt the carrots.

3. Using your hands, very carefully, without kneading, mix the carrots with sugar and salt. Do this as if you were pouring carrots. If you crush the carrots, they will not be juicy. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve, that is, their crystals are no longer visible on the carrots.

4. It is better to take coriander in grains and grind it yourself in a mortar or coffee grinder. In this case, you will get a completely different aroma, much richer than that of ready-made ground coriander. Try grinding spices yourself and see the huge difference with ground spices in bags.

So, grind the coriander in a mortar. Sprinkle it over the carrots and also sprinkle them with paprika and hot pepper. You need to take hot pepper according to your taste, depending on how spicy you want the carrots to be.

Gently stir the carrots into the spices until they are a uniform color.

5. Grate the garlic on a fine grater and also add to the salad. Stir. While stirring, do not crush the carrots so that the juice remains inside.


1. Add spices and mix. 2. Add garlic, stir.

6. Now you need to season the carrots with oil and vinegar. To mix well, pour vegetable oil into a tablespoon. Pour a little acetic acid (70%) into the same oil. And pour the resulting dressing over the orange root vegetable. Stir a little and pour in the rest of the oil. Distribute the oil throughout the salad, you can toss the carrots a little.

7. The salad according to this recipe can be eaten immediately. Once it has been well seasoned with spices, it will already be delicious. You need to pour it carefully each time so that the carrots absorb all the flavors and aromas well.

If you want an even richer taste, put the carrots in a jar, cover with a lid and let them sit in the refrigerator for several hours. During this time, this Korean salad will marinate very well and it will be very difficult to resist it.

During the cooking process, you can add a little soy sauce to Korean carrots. You will get a new shade of taste.

Another way to prepare Korean carrots.

I will not now describe in detail the same thing that was written above. The carrots also need to be grated. But in this version, spices and oil are not added one by one, and the carrots are not sprinkled several times.

It is known that all spices reveal their aroma in vegetable oil, especially when hot. Therefore, first the carrots are mixed with sugar and salt (as in the previous version). Next, spices are poured onto the carrots in a heap: pepper, coriander, paprika, garlic. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and pour the hot oil over the spices. Then mix everything and add vinegar.

Place these carrots in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.

This option for preparing Korean carrots is also quite popular. Try both of these options and choose the best one for yourself!

Write in the comments how you cook carrots in Korean. And come visit my blog more often, there is a lot of interesting things here!

Oddly enough, neither in Korea nor in foreign countries are the familiar Korean carrots prepared for us. This dish was invented in the USSR, when Koreans living on its territory could not make their traditional national kimchi from Chinese cabbage. Their love of spicy foods and lack of necessary ingredients took cheap, savory carrots to a new level. The recipe for Chinese cabbage that migrated to carrots made this snack popular and beloved by everyone.

The calorie content of Korean carrots according to the usual cooking recipe is 134 kcal. All kinds of salads with the addition of other vegetables or mushrooms reduce their calorie content by up to 2 times.

A distinctive feature of the Korean snack is a specific type of carrot. Long strings of fresh vegetables, soaked in marinade, become soft and flexible. In order for the salad to take the correct form, there is a grater for Korean carrots, because... You can’t achieve such an elongated effect with a regular tool.

Traditional and familiar spices in which root vegetables are pickled are garlic, coriander, red and black pepper, salt, vinegar, and vegetable oil. Korean carrots are a self-contained dish on their own, but they are also often added as a component to complex multi-component salads or used as a filling in baked goods and rolls.

In addition to its taste, Korean carrots have other benefits, including medicinal ones. It is useful for constipation, because... The coarse fibers of the vegetable help improve digestion. Carotene has a positive effect on vision, and the presence of garlic in the salad enhances the antiseptic, anthelmintic and antiviral properties of the dish. Vitamins B and PP have vasodilating properties and improve the condition of capillaries.

However, people with diseases of the stomach, pancreas, liver, pancreatitis, ulcers or gastritis have dietary restrictions, so they should eat Korean carrots with caution, and sometimes completely exclude them from their diet.

Subtleties of cooking Korean carrots

Not all housewives decide to repeat the store-bought version of a savory snack on their own, for fear of failure. But to make Korean carrots at home as aromatic, spicy and tasty as in the store, we will reveal its main production secrets, note the subtleties of preparation and focus on all the nuances of the dish.

  1. Appearance of carrots. A necessary tool for the correct shape of the salad is a special carrot grater. This kitchen utensil is designed for grating root vegetables into thin, long, round-shaped strips. You can buy it in the kitchen supplies department of stores or at markets. If you don’t have a special grater, you can use a sharp kitchen knife and cut the root vegetable into thin strips yourself. This, of course, is labor-intensive work and this option will change the appearance of the dish, but it is quite suitable for preparing carrots in Korean.
  2. Quality of carrots. Only high-quality carrots can give the dish the right taste and juiciness. Therefore, when purchasing, you should choose a root vegetable that is dense, crispy and juicy.
  3. Required ingredients. In addition to the base - carrots, the dish uses salt, sugar, hot red pepper, vinegar, and oil. Often used, but not required, are black pepper, garlic, onion, cilantro, sesame.
  4. Vegetable oil. To prepare Korean snacks in our conditions, sunflower oil is most often used. but it can be safely replaced with olive, cottonseed, corn or melted butter. When heat treating the oil, coriander or pepper should be added to enrich it with aroma. But in order not to spoil the taste of the dish, the oil should not be brought to a boil, because... Carcinogens released at high temperatures make the snack harmful.
  5. Sesame. Sesame seed acts as a flavoring additive in the dish. In order for the product to fully release its aromatic oils, it should first be fried in a dry, hot frying pan until it has a pleasant brown color. And a few drops of sesame oil added to the carrots will only highlight the roasted seeds.
  6. Garlic. The aromatic addition of garlic not only adds flavor to the overall dish, but also affects its appearance. To prevent fresh garlic from changing its white color, it must be added to the salad after pouring in the hot oil. Otherwise, the high temperature of the oil will turn the garlic green.

Despite detailed cooking recipes, some housewives always have questions. Some of them are quite common and often related to individual needs.

  • How to prepare a snack very quickly? Traditional preparation of Korean carrots involves infusing the dish. But if there is no time for this procedure, and such a salad is extremely necessary, then it can be prepared in a frying pan or in the oven. The carrots must be simmered until they are completely softened. It is important to ensure that the vegetable does not fry, but simply changes color a little.
  • Why does one recipe have a different taste? This is due to the quality of the carrots used. After all, the source material often differs in its properties: the fruit can be juicier or drier, have a bitterness or sweetness, be elastic or slightly soft. Therefore, in order to develop the ideal taste of a dish for yourself, you need to constantly experiment with products.
  • How to fix the spicy taste of salad? If such a problem arises, when hot seasonings and additives exceed the expected result, walnuts will help soften the taste of the dish. To do this, several walnut kernels must be finely chopped and mixed with carrots.

  10. Pour in hot oil and let cool.
  11. Then put it in the refrigerator for three hours - and you’re ready to serve.

Tip: It is not necessary to use apple cider vinegar as the vinegar. It can be any other one you like.

Not only classic vegetable oil can be used as oil. It can be coconut, flax, corn, nut, cotton, olive, etc.

The oil should be removed from the heat as soon as it begins to boil. If you let it boil, it can ruin the taste of the entire salad.

If you want to add some greens to the salad, do so just before serving to really add freshness. If you add herbs along with carrots, they will absorb all the tastes and aromas, and the addition will not give the salad anything new and special.

To serve the salad as quickly as possible, cook it on the stovetop. That is, everything is the same, only not in a bowl, but on the stove. Be careful and cook the carrots only until they are soft, do not let them brown.

If the salad turns out to be too spicy, you can add some chopped nuts to it. They will take away some of the piquancy and make the taste of the dish lighter and more delicate.

Korean carrots always complement a side dish or meat well. You can eat it just like that, with a piece of fresh bread, and truly enjoy the fact that such special salads are already so easy for us!
