Well, how? The truth is universal recipes for all occasions? You want it for the winter, you want it right away.
If you liked the idea of cooking cucumbers in Korean, then you will be interested to know that I will dedicate the next selection to them, but only to the methods of harvesting for the winter. With sterilization and other necessary actions so that the jars stand until the next harvest.
And that's all for today, thank you for your attention.
With the onset of summer, the harvest season begins. It can be berries, fruits, vegetables. Just the latter will be discussed today. Namely, cucumbers. Since at this time we can use them in unlimited quantities.
I recently wrote about how to make them as well. Today I want to pay attention to recipes in Korean. Such a blank can be made from any green handsome man, even overgrown. After all, it often happens that we just overlooked some kind of cucumber that hid in the leaves. And the next day it is already so big that it is no longer suitable for salting or eating.
And in the cold winter time, you always want to remember the summer. Therefore, we will get a jar of yummy and indulge in memories. Yes, it is a very good option as a snack.
This method is quite simple and fast, since you do not need to spend additional time on heat treatment of the contents of the jars. It is quite spicy, as hot peppers are added to it. But you can reduce the amount or increase it if you wish.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
1. First, wash the cucumbers under running water and discuss them well. We cut them into circles, and very large ones are smaller. Also, their thickness should not be very large, about 0.5 mm, but not quite thin. Put them in a large saucepan.
2. We also rinse the bell pepper and wipe it with paper towels. Cut in half and remove seeds. Now cut into short strips. We ship there.
To make the salad more colorful, take peppers of different colors.
3. We clean the onion from the husk and chop it into small cubes.
4. Carrots are also washed and cleaned. We rub it on a grater for Korean carrots. Or just cut it into strips. We send it to all vegetables.
5. In the pan, also add the garlic passed through the press and chopped hot peppers.
Do not forget about spices: sugar and salt, as well as vegetable oil and vinegar.
Preservation salt is needed without additives, that is, ordinary table salt. Since otherwise all our blanks will turn sour and “fly up into the air”.
6. Mix everything well and leave for 2 hours at room temperature.
7. During this time, we will prepare jars and lids. They need to be washed well. detergents and turn over to glass all the water.
8. Put the salad on the fire and bring to a boil. During this process, he will sit down well and release even more juice. We cook for one minute. During this, you will notice that the cucumbers have changed color, which means you are done. Turn off and lay out hot in jars.
9. Immediately roll up the lids and cool upside down under the covers.
We store such a salad in a dark, cool place.
All options are delicious. But, if you doubt the taste, then I suggest using seasoning. It will give the salad uniqueness and originality. And I know for sure that it will stand and it will not deteriorate.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
1. First we need to wash and dry the cucumbers. After all, excess moisture is useless to us. We cut them into circles, and large ones can be halves or quarter circles. In fact, the size of the plastics does not greatly affect the taste of the salad. We put them immediately in a large container, so that later it will be easier to mix everything.
2. Now let's deal with carrots. We also rinse and clean it. Now we need to grind it. It is better to do this on a Korean grater or with a special knife. But who does not have it, they can simply cut it into thin strips using an ordinary knife or circles. We send it to cucumbers.
3. The turn has come to garlic. We also clean it from the husk and simply squeeze it through the press. It can also be chopped with a knife or rubbed on a fine grater. We add it to the vegetables.
4. Now pour vegetable oil and vinegar there. Add sugar and salt. You can send all the seasoning if it is written on the bag that it contains 10 gr. If more, for example 30 gr., Then only part of the pack (1/3).
5. So, mix everything thoroughly and leave for 4 hours at room temperature.
Do not forget to periodically mix the contents of the container.
6. During this time, prepare the jars and lids. They must be thoroughly washed with soda or detergents. It is not necessary to sterilize, as we will do this later.
7. Now we lay out the salad in our bottles along with the juice that he let in and cover with metal lids. We put them in a large saucepan, on the bottom of which we lay a rag or put a special stand. Pour warm water into it up to the shoulders of the cans and turn on the fire. At first it should be strong, and after boiling, turn down so that it does not gurgle too much. Otherwise, water will get into the salad. And so we sterilize for about 15 minutes.
8. We take out the cans and roll up the lids using a seaming machine.
You can also use twist closures, that is, twist lids.
9. Put the jars upside down and cover them with a blanket or towel. So let them cool down completely. Then store in a cool dark place.
In all the ways that I share, almost the same composition of the products. Only their quantity changes and some other product is added. But only the shutter speed and the process are slightly different. In this video, the author shows in detail and tells how to cook such delicious salad. It is also slightly different from mine, but still no less beautiful.
I hope you liked the preparation and decided to try to make it yourself in order to open a jar in winter and remember the summer flavors. You can also put this on the festive table, because it looks so appetizing.
In this recipe, we will use a minimum of products. We'll also make a mustard salad. only here we need it in powder form. You can also add more pepper if you like it spicier. But I always make it according to the recipe. Such cucumbers are perfect in winter for potatoes, even fried, even boiled in their skins.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
1. First wash and wipe cucumbers. It is better to take them in the same size. Now we will cut them into 4 - 6 parts, it depends on their thickness. Put in a large container.
2. We clean the garlic from the husk and pass through the press. Fans can cut it very finely with a knife or rub it on a grater.
3. Add spices: salt, sugar, pepper and mustard. We also add vinegar and oil. Mix everything thoroughly and leave to infuse for 6 hours. During this time, they should start up the juice.
4. Arrange in clean jars and sterilize in a saucepan for about 10 minutes. Then screw on the lids and turn upside down. So let it cool down completely.
This salad can be stored even at room temperature. And in the winter to get to the arrival of guests.
Yes, it is not always possible to pick beautiful and small cucumbers from the garden. After all, many do not every day go to the garden for them. So I overlooked it, even though I live next to a cucumber patch. But it doesn't matter. In such a case, I also have a way how to use them.
Ingredients:
Cooking:
1. Let's take care of the carrots. Wash it well and clean it. Grate it on a Korean grater or use a special knife. Place immediately in a large bowl.
2. Now it's the turn of cucumbers. We also mine and three of them. But the seeds should not be crushed. they will give a lot of water, but we do not need it. So we just throw them away. We ship there.
3. We clean the garlic and press it through a press.
4. Fall asleep all the spices: salt, sugar, seasoning. And also pour vinegar oil. Mix everything well and leave to marinate for at least five hours, or even more. Better at night.
5. We lay out the salad in sterile jars and send it to the oven for 15 - 20 minutes to be sterilized. it can also be done in a pot of water.
6. Roll up the lids and leave to cool upside down under the covers. Then we clean it in a cool place or store it in the pantry.
So what do you think of these recipes? Have you already decided how you will prepare the workpiece? I have already decided, and I also want to do more delicious eggplant. They are growing up right now. Zucchini are also beautiful in the garden, but I will make them as a side dish for meatballs. Well, perhaps I will proceed, and I say goodbye to you. See you soon!
For the winter, you always want to stock up on delicious and useful blanks. And today we want to offer you Korean-style cucumbers for the winter: a recipe with seasoning for Korean carrots. Recently, housewives have been trying to prepare various canned dishes for the winter, which they did not do before.
Usually, traditional cucumbers were preserved for the winter, but with the appearance in the markets, later in Korean cuisine stores, women began to prepare such snacks at home, and later canning began. This is a very tasty, spicy dish, or a salad that the household is happy to eat, and a great snack for the holiday.
Products:
300 g fresh carrots
1.5 kg medium cucumbers
1 spoon Korean seasoning
0.5 cups of vinegar, but not strong 9%
0.5 cup refined oil
head of garlic (medium)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 heaping teaspoon of salt
To prepare this recipe, you will need a grater designed for cooking Korean carrots.
Wash carrots and cucumbers thoroughly, especially if the vegetables are immediately from the garden (there may be earth left). Carrots are peeled, I do it with a special grater, very convenient, and chop, as the Koreans do. Remove edges and cut in half lengthwise, cucumbers. Then the half is still in two, you get the bars. Grind the garlic using a crusher designed for garlic. All products are prepared, and you can combine them. Add salt, sugar, vinegar and oil to them, mix thoroughly with your hands. Cucumbers should be marinated, therefore, covering the bowl with a towel, leave them for 8-10 hours. The preparation can be done in the evening and left overnight so as not to waste time.
Put the cucumbers in the sterilized jars and pour the yushka formed during pickling, close the lid and send it to be sterilized in a water bath. If the container is half a liter, then 15 minutes is enough, it will take about 20 minutes for a slightly larger jar. Close the salad with metal lids using a key. Put the lids down and warm well.
For several seasons I have been preserving cucumbers with Korean seasoning. The recipe is one, proven and very, in my opinion, delicious. But still, sometimes you want to change something, add or remove something. Change the canning process, experiment with products. New recipe I always try to do small portions, and suddenly you don’t like it.
Products:
2 kg cucumbers
½ kg carrots
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unscented oil
½ cup vinegar (9%)
60 g salt
3 cloves of garlic
10 g Korean seasoning
I have a glass of 250 g, so if you have less or more, be guided by yourself. Cucumbers, after washing, pour water for 2-3 hours, so they will be crispy, the water should be very cold. Once again, thoroughly washing the cucumbers, cut off the edges, and divide them into four even parts, cutting along. I have them medium, one might even say small, but if you have them large, then you need to cut them also into half in the middle.
Washed and peeled carrots are rubbed on a grater, which is intended for Korean vegetables. If you don’t have one, it doesn’t matter, an ordinary grater will do, the taste will not change.
For the marinade, combine vinegar, oil, sugar, spices, garlic, chopped into pieces or with the help of garlic.
In a large bowl, mix carrots, cucumbers and marinade. Mix with your hands and not once, but several times, so that the products are evenly mixed with the marinade. Cover the bowl with a lid, if there is not such a large one, then simply kitchen towel and refrigerate for at least 5 hours. Having prepared sterile jars, lay out our products, and then evenly distributing, add the syrup that has formed in the bowl.
In the first recipe, sterilization took place on a steam bath, in this recipe we will change a little. To do this, you need a wide pan, we are not interested in height. On its bottom, lay a cotton towel, and lay out the jars. I have them half-liter, fit four. We cover the jars with lids (sterile) and pour water into the pan to the place where the jar narrows. We turn on the fire, and wait until the water boils, from this moment we detect 10 minutes.
Now we take out the jars in turn and close them with a key or lids that are screwed on. Do not forget to wrap them up, turn them upside down.
Products:
2 kg fresh cucumbers
4 large carrots(500 g)
105 g granulated sugar
50 g salt
1 medium head of garlic
Seasoning for Korean vegetables (10 g)
125 ml vinegar (9%)
125 ml unscented sunflower oil
Wash the cucumbers, cut off the tails on the right and left, and cut into circles, we will try to cut them thinly. Grind the carrots with a grater, which is exactly suitable for Korean cuisine.
Combine all chopped vegetables in a large spacious bowl, add sugar, salt, vinegar, sunflower oil, garlic squeezed through a press, Korean seasoning. We leave for 4 hours, stirring the products several times so that all the flavors mix and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Four hours have passed, we lay out the cucumbers in sterilized jars, try to grab the yushka from the bottom and lightly tamp. Distribute the remaining marinade in jars and cover with sterilized lids. With these products, we get six jars per half liter.
Put a towel or napkin in a saucepan, pour warm water (a little) and lay out the jars. Top up with warm water to the level of the narrowing of the jar. As soon as the water boils, it will take 10 minutes to sterilize them, but we will reduce the fire (medium). So that when boiling water does not get into the jars, I put a lid (turning the handle down) of a smaller size and a saucepan on it. So my Korean-style cucumbers will be protected from water.
We will close the sterilized cucumbers with lids, whoever has any, ordinary or screw ones will do. We will prepare a secluded place, put the jars upside down on a blanket and wrap them up well.
Be sure to try to cook these cucumbers for the winter, but with a slight change by adding soy sauce to the products. It's always great to have a variety of snacks.
Products:
2 kg cucumbers
500 g carrots
3-4 garlic cloves
1 cup vegetable oil
2 heaping spoons of soy sauce
0.5 cup vinegar 9%
2 tablespoons incomplete white sugar
10 g Korean seasoning
50 g salt
Remove the ends from clean cucumbers and divide into 4 equal parts along the entire length. Grind carrots on a grater for Korean vegetables. Place the cut in a bowl, adding garlic, squeezed through a press, or finely chopped with a sharp knife, and all other ingredients. Mix thoroughly, cover the bowl with a towel and leave to marinate for 5 hours.
Time has passed, let's start packing ready-made cucumbers in sterilized half-liter jars. When finished, cover also with clean lids. We put a piece of cloth in a wide pan, put the jars, fill them with warm water, approximately to the shoulders of the vessel, and after the water boils, we will sterilize for 10 minutes. Wrap the jars well, be sure to put the lid down with the lid.
I especially like these cucumbers because they include sesame seeds. Incredibly tasty and original.

2.5 tablespoons coarse salt

Grind garlic and bitter pepper with garlic. Roast the sesame seeds until golden brown in a non-stick frying pan.
When the right time has passed (40 minutes), squeeze the cucumbers and put them in a bowl. Add vinegar, soy sauce and salt to them. Stir, and taste, if necessary - add a little salt, maybe someone will want to add soy sauce to taste, this is already an amateur. Everything tastes great, add garlic and hot pepper, fried sesame seeds, paprika.
Heat the oil over a fire, pretty well, so that the smoke goes, remove from the stove for a few minutes. Pour hot oil into cucumbers. Again, mix everything thoroughly and can be laid out in sterile jars. Sterilize for 20 minutes, close with a key, lay out, turn over, and insulate.

Chop the cucumbers into strips, rather small, put in a bowl, add salt and leave aside for 3 hours. We are waiting for the vegetable to release juice. Let's not waste time, let's move on to other products. Fry the onion cut into rings in a small amount of oil, add the tomatoes and red pepper, which we cut into strips. Let's simmer for a short time, about 15 minutes, until the end of the stewing for 3 minutes, add garlic (chopped). While the vegetables are cooling, let's see what our cucumbers are doing. Great, they have become soft enough, let the juice out, now you can add to them vegetable stew. We mix, and we will spread it in jars that have been sterilized. Cover with clean lids and sterilize for 25 minutes. Close with a key, put hot in a warm place. Our spicy cucumbers with vegetables are ready for the winter.
A spicy recipe, delicious, which can be served as a ready-made salad prepared without sterilization. Often, during the cucumber season, harvesting every day, you will lose one or two cucumbers, which are already too large, and are not entirely suitable for twisting. This is exactly what we will apply to our recipe.
