There are many cooking options, for example: with meat, carrots, soy sauce, sesame. There is a recipe for every taste. The most popular is the classic version of Korean-style cucumbers with carrots. Let's look at two simple recipes on how to prepare these cucumbers.
A classic way to prepare cucumbers in Korean
You will need the following ingredients:
- 1.5 kg of fresh cucumbers;
- half a pack of Korean carrot seasoning;
- 100 g sugar;
- 50 g salt;
- half a glass of 9% vinegar;
- half a head of garlic.
Small pimply fruits will look much more impressive even in appearance. They should be washed under running water and rubbed with a soft brush. Next, cut the cucumbers, first lengthwise into 4 slices, and then crosswise into pieces that are convenient for you.
Place the chopped pieces in a bowl. Add salt, sugar and seasoning there. We peel the garlic and squeeze it through a special device, or you can use a fine grater.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Add vinegar and sunflower oil to the cucumbers. Mix the mixture thoroughly again and put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours to marinate.
Now cucumbers can be safely eaten. To prepare such a snack for the winter, we do the same thing, put the mixture into jars and sterilize for 15 minutes. We monitor the water level in the pan; it should reach the “shoulders” of the cans. We remove the jars from the pan and immediately begin seaming.
