The fastest pickled eggplant in Korean. Step by step recipe

  1. Washed and wiped eggplant we need to cut into thin cubes. First, cut the tails on two sides and cut the eggplant into four parts: lengthwise and crosswise. We cut each part of the blue into small pieces.
  2. Eggplant was placed in a bowl and covered with salt. Do not forget to mix so that the salt is not only on the upper eggplant, but also on the lower. Leave as it is for one hour.
  3. An hour has passed, we pour out the dark juice formed from the eggplant and wash it under running water.
  4. Next, prepare the eggplant directly for pickling. They can be boiled, fried in sunflower oil and simply baked in the oven. I, as a lover of instant eggplant in Korean, choose baking in the oven. This has its advantages: as I said, eggplants cook quickly and will not be as greasy as when frying.
  5. Grease a large baking sheet with vegetable oil. And put eggplant on it. We cover them with food foil from above: so they will not burn with us. And put in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. When they become soft, they can be removed from the oven. If you still decide to cook them, then dip in boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Then let them cool.
  6. We clean the carrots and, of course, mine. Then chop it in a Korean vegetable shredder. Pour boiling water and leave it for 3 minutes. After that, we rinse it through a colander with cold water. Our carrot will then be soft.
  7. We will cut the peeled onions in half rings.
  8. Sweet pepper do not forget to rinse and remove the core from it, along with the seeds. Cut the pepper into four parts, and then chop with a thin straw.
  9. In a sufficiently large container, mix all our chopped and grated vegetables, except for eggplant. Add garlic to them, which we grind or pass through a press.
  10. It's time to add spices. Salt, coriander, black and red hot peppers, vinegar, sugar and sunflower oil. A spoon of salt should be taken without a slide, the amount of pepper can be reduced, or vice versa, increased. This is a matter of taste. Hot red pepper can be replaced with bitter capsicum, taking half or a third of the whole pepper.
  11. We mix the vegetables, cover with a lid or film on top. Put aside, for pickling: for 5-6 hours.
  12. And now we mix the pickled vegetables and still warm, not cooled eggplant, mix. Korean style quick pickled eggplant with carrots are ready - this is an option for eating right away.
  13. If you decide to prepare this yummy for the future, for the winter, then we will continue to preserve them.
  14. We will need three liter cans: you can take six pieces of half-liter. Be sure to sterilize them in a way convenient for you: above steam or in the oven. And put the pickled vegetables in Korean in sterile jars.
  15. Pour cold water into a large pot. At the bottom of the pan, lay a towel and place the jars, adding water over their neck, to be sterilized. As soon as the water boils in a saucepan, count out exactly 35 minutes if you have liter jars, and 20 minutes if you have half-liter jars.
  16. Then remove the jars from boiling water and immediately roll them with sterile lids. As usual, turn the cans upside down, wrap and soak them until they cool completely.

Is this a reason not to cook Korean-style eggplant with carrots in the eggplant season? And our recipe with photos will help you cook them quickly, not troublesome, and most importantly - delicious!

Korean Eggplant with Carrot Recipe:

As you know, the fruits of ripe eggplant contain some unpleasant bitterness due to the content of solanine in them. Therefore, before preparing anything from it, this bitterness must be removed. However, breeders have already tried and developed new varieties of eggplants that are ideal for cooks - they do not contain bitterness and, accordingly, do not require special preparation and soaking before heat treatment. If you come across such wonderful varieties of eggplant - use them with pleasure, but if you are not quite sure which variety you purchased and what the eggplants will be in the final dish, do not be lazy and sprinkle them with salt. But first, for our salad, we cut the washed eggplant, with the stalk removed, with half a centimeter thick plates.

We cut each eggplant plate diagonally - you get oblong, smooth cubes.

We put the whetstones in a deep container (in a basin or bowl) and pour it with coarse salt, leave for half an hour.

In the meantime, grind and prepare all the other vegetable ingredients for a snack: three carrots on a Korean grater.

We release sweet / bulgarian thick-walled peppers from the green stalk and numerous seeds, cut into oblong straws. You can put all the vegetables in one dish, we will soon add fried eggplant to them.

Sweet white or purple onions cut into thin / medium half rings, send to carrots and pepper.

Pour coriander and a pinch of nutmeg into the dishes with chopped vegetables, as well as the amount of sugar indicated in the list of ingredients for the recipe. Mix, give some time to soak in spices.

We return to the eggplant - they are ready for frying. But before that, they must be squeezed out of the salty-bitter liquid and placed in a pan into which we pour the vegetable oil.

You don’t need to “fry” the eggplants in Korean for appetizers, they are loose in structure, tender, and may fall apart from being too long in the pan. As soon as a light ruddy hue appears on the eggplants, transfer them hot to the vegetable mixture. Thus, all the cubes will retain their shape, and the snack will have a beautiful appetizing look on the table.

We squeeze garlic onto warm eggplants, add sesame seeds, add vinegar, soy sauce.

We send finely chopped, fresh cilantro or parsley.

Now you can mix the warm eggplant with carrots and garlic.

Allow to cool in the room, and then rearrange the pickle in the refrigerator, preferably with a minimum exposure of 3 hours.

How to cook eggplant in Korean, the most delicious recipe

1. Thoroughly wash the eggplant, cut them in half. We cut each half into strips about 0.5 cm thick.

2. Put the vegetable slices in a bowl, add a little salt and mix well. An important point: do not put a lot of salt. From its excess, eggplants become stiff and, accordingly, less tasty.

3. We cover a bowl with eggplant with a plate and set it under oppression for a day.

4. After a day, open the contents of the bowl and look - the eggplant let the juice go.

5. Carefully squeeze the pieces of eggplant (for example, using gauze, or simply squeeze firmly with your hands).

6. The next step: rub Korean carrots. Stripes of carrots should be long, use a special grater.

7. And one more ingredient of our snack: thinly chop bell pepper.

8. Now in a separate bowl mix the carrots and peppers in Korean and leave.

10. Let the eggplants cool down a bit and put them in a Korean salad. Mix the vegetables thoroughly.

11. Finely chop the onion (preferably with cubes, as in the photo). Put the onions in a free pan and fry them a little. If necessary, add a little more vegetable oil.

12. Watch the onion: it should turn out crispy. If the variety is bitter, then the bitterness must go.

13. It was the turn of onions to go to the salad.

14. The most piquant moment of Korean eggplant recipe. Pour spices for Korean carrots into a bowl of vegetables. You can replace the finished mixture with the following seasonings: caraway seeds + coriander + paprika + ground black pepper + red hot pepper.

16. Add greens to the bowl and mix the appetizer, enjoying the aroma of spices and anticipating the feast.

17. Press the appetizer plate. You can set oppression in the form of jars, as at the beginning of the recipe. We leave everything to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and preferably for 12 hours. The longer the mixture marinates, the tastier it will be.

An eggplant appetizer with Korean carrots is pretty good to keep in the refrigerator, without sterilization, it can stand for 1-2 months, provided that it is kept in previously sterilized jars. But if you want to play it safe, you can sterilize cans with salad and roll them up for the winter. To do this, install the filled jars in a pan with cold water (provided that the salad is also cold). We cover the jars with lids from above and, after boiling water in a saucepan, we sterilize at the rate of 0.5 l of jar - 15 minutes, 1 l - 30 minutes. We twist the covers, turn them upside down, wrap them in a blanket and leave for a day. After you can clean the salad in the cupboard until winter.
