Dissolve salt in cold boiled water. Take ordinary, table salt, coarse or finely ground; iodized will not work. Cut the cabbage lengthwise and place in water. To prevent the Peking from floating, put a plate on top, and oppression on it. Leave for 8-10 hours (you don't need to put it in the refrigerator). It is very convenient to do this at night, and in the morning follow the next steps for preparation. Thanks to this procedure tough leaves soften, slightly salted.
Peel and chop the garlic. Can be crushed with a press.
Grate carrots coarsely and mix with garlic. If there is no special grater for Korean carrots, take an ordinary one, this will not affect the final taste.
After several hours, the cabbage should be removed from the brine, squeezed and cut into squares. Compared to white cabbage, Peking is a more economical product, because it has a small stump and we cut the leaves almost to the very end.
Mix a Chinese vegetable with carrots and garlic.
Make a dressing with oil, vinegar, sugar and spices. Mix all the components, stir the sugar until the crystals dissolve. It is advisable to take brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar, or replace it with lemon juice (citric acid dissolved in water).
Pour the dressing over the salad and add the soy sauce. Mix everything evenly. Soy sauce comes in a variety of flavors, but I usually go for the classic one.
Cover the vegetable and spice mixture with a saucer and place the oppression on top. Put the bowl in the refrigerator for a day.
The treat is ready, garnish with a sprig of herbs and serve. The brine formed after pickling can be drained or consumed with it.
I love all kinds of salads and snacks based on Korean carrots. Moreover, it is not necessary to use ready-made Korean carrots - it is quite possible to cook it in the process itself. This is the case with the salad with the addition of Chinese cabbage. Thin strips of carrots, mixed with spices and herbs, become ready in just half an hour after cooking. Well, the delicate leaves of Peking cabbage will be saturated with the marinade even faster.
For a delicious Chinese cabbage and Korean carrot salad, prepare the following ingredients.
The color of Chinese cabbage leaves can range from bright green to pale yellow, depending on how long ago the crop was harvested.
Wash the Peking leaves and pat dry with a towel. You only need to use the soft yellow (or green) part of the leaf. The central white part is often very hard, so it is best not to use it. Chop the delicate leaves into thin strips and transfer to a salad bowl.
Wash and peel the carrots. It is better to grate it using a special grater for cooking vegetables in Korean, or you can use a regular grater. Transfer the carrot strips to the salad bowl, where the chopped cabbage is already lying. It is advisable to gently mash the carrots, they can be in a separate bowl.
Add salt and sugar to a bowl. If the carrots are very sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar.
Peel the garlic cloves, chop them finely or chop them using a special press. Send garlic to a salad bowl, add ground spices there - coriander and black pepper. You can also add fenugreek, paprika, utskho-suneli.
Pour neutral-tasting, odorless vegetable oil into a bowl, and add natural apple cider vinegar. Mix everything well. Cover the bowl with a lid, send to a cold place for half an hour or an hour.
Stir the Peking cabbage and Korean carrot salad once more before serving. Ideal with meat, fish or a side dish.
Or you can simply "crunch" a healthy salad with a slice of bread or crackers.
The salad will be more delicious on the second day, when the taste of spices is revealed to the maximum with the help of vegetable oil. Bon Appetit!

Tip: you can use pomegranate seeds instead of pomegranate juice. They just like sesame seeds, you just need to sprinkle the salad on top. Half a grenade is enough. Choose fresh, juicy, ripe fruit. The stalk should be dry, the fruit itself should be heavy. And as a dressing, you can take a little olive or any other oil.
Tip: If you've never cooked shrimp before, then don't worry, even a beginner can handle it. Boil the water and add salt and laurel leaf there. For a more interesting taste, you can add a quarter of a lemon with the zest, as well as one sprig of rosemary. The shrimp will cook for a maximum of 4 minutes. Next, you need to drain the water and wait until it cools down. Then remove the head with twisting movements. Grab one side of the legs and pull off the shell. After that, you need to make a small incision on the bottom of the abdomen and pull out the intestine. Ready!
If you use shrimp for presentation, you can leave tails for them. This will make them look neater. The shrimp themselves can be replaced with crayfish tails.
Not everyone loves eggplants, but even children will be interested in them after this salad - it's so delicious. Plus, this product isn't often used, so it's time to add some variety to your meals and cook.
Tip: The dish tastes better if you use homemade mayonnaise. It's that simple! From the products you will need: an egg, salt and sugar, lemon juice or vinegar, mustard and sunflower oil. You can add spices or use Dijon mustard for a special twist. You can also take only the yolks, then the color will be more yellow, and the mayonnaise itself will have a rich taste.
This salad can be served warm directly from the pan. So it will be tastier, and all the spices will reveal their aroma and taste. And the cheese will be much tastier when it is melted into other products. Oh, delicious treats straight from the Mediterranean!
Tip: If you don't want spice, you can skip the chili and use regular black pepper instead.
