Beets in Korean

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 8 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beets in Korean at home? Prepare the products according to the list. Wash the beets and peel them. For this dish, it is the essence of 70% that is used; it is not advisable to replace it with table vinegar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the peeled raw beets on a Korean grater, trying to make the strips long. Add salt to the beets and mix with your hands and press lightly so that the beets become softer and release juice. Leave the beets with salt for 30 - 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, remember it again and stir.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the beets are brewing, lightly fry the coriander in a dry frying pan, and then chop it, but not into dust.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel and cut the onion into quarters, and cut them into 0.3-0.4mm strips. To prevent the onion from stinging your eyes when slicing, rinse it and the knife with cold water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Drain the juice from the beets and squeeze them lightly, but not too much, otherwise they won’t be juicy.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place minced or finely chopped garlic, ground coriander, sugar on top, sprinkle with black pepper, and add red hot pepper if desired. Do not stir the spice “peas” yet.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat a frying pan, pour 70-80 ml of refined vegetable oil and heat it well. Fry the onion in hot oil until golden brown.

8. STEP 8

   

   Immediately from the stove, pour very hot oil over the spices, add all the onions and mix everything well. Pour in less than 1 tbsp. vinegar essence and mix thoroughly again.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cover the bowl with a lid and let the beets cool, then put them in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight. Korean beets are ready. Bon appetit!

I saw an amazing Korean beet recipe in my feed and couldn’t pass it up. What attracted me to it was that beets do not need to be boiled. It became interesting. I did everything according to the recipe. She grated the beets, covered them with salt, mashed them, let them sit and drained the juice. I lightly fried the coriander seeds, crushed them in a mortar and added them to the beets. I also added sugar, garlic, black pepper and fried onions with butter, and mixed everything. I poured a tablespoon of 6% vinegar into the beets, mixed it again and let it sit and cool. It turned out surprisingly very tasty, even my picky son liked it, but it’s hard to please him. The recipe is super, I recommend it 👍

Interesting and unusual recipe! I haven’t cooked beets like this before, I wanted to try it. The result was unexpected - very fresh and tasty. Suitable as an appetizer, with a side dish without meat, and with bread as a snack. It's gone everywhere. It wouldn’t hurt to put this salad on the holiday table. The essence does not spoil the taste, I love coriander, it came in handy here. True, I didn’t have a Korean grater; I grated the beets using a regular one, but it didn’t affect the result. The fact that beets are raw is even better, more beneficial for the body.
