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.

To cook sharp eggplant in Korean you will need:
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.

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

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

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.
