Korean Carrot Salad, or Morkovcha, is delicious, healthy and easy to make, with a crunchy texture and a mild sweet taste. It is perfect for lunch or as a side dish.
Peel the carrots and cut them thinly slices or Julienne.
In a large bowl, mix the carrots and salt. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until tender.
Turn off the heat and stir in the minced garlic, and set aside to cool.
Now, stir in black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, coriander, sugar and vinegar. Mix well.
Pour the mixture over the carrots and toss until combined. Put in the fridge for 1- 2 hours.
Add fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Slicing the carrots properly is the key to this dish. You can do it by hand, but it is best to use a Julienne slicer (unless you are a Japanese chef). In case you are a lazy person like me, supermarkets even sell bags of already Julienned carrots!
