How to cook cucumbers in Korean for the winter.
Before chopping, soak the cucumbers for at least 1 hour in cold water, better for 2-4 hours.
This is what you should do with any cucumber preparations. Lightly salted classic or cucumbers, saturated with moisture, will be crispier when pickled and pickled.
We cut off both sides of the poured cucumbers and taste them for bitterness, just in case.
For the perfect crunch, cut the main characters quite large - into cubes 4-6 cm in length.
We grate the carrots on any suitable grater - for Korean carrots, Berner, etc. We need thin straws. We send the slices to the cucumbers.
Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices. If you don’t want to mess around, pass it through a press or three on a fine grater.
We send savory ingredients to two main vegetables.
Making a dressing for vegetables. In a separate bowl, mix salt, sugar, Korean seasoning, oil and vinegar. Pour into a bowl with vegetables and mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 4-5 hours.
During this time it is advisable stir the salad 2-3 times- for uniform impregnation of the pieces.
Cucumbers acquire a pleasant taste after 3-3.5 hours of marinating.
You can do some simple preparation in the evening, and transfer it to jars and sterilize it in the morning. Don't be afraid to overcook the vegetables. 8-10 hours of infusion will not spoil them, but a lot of juice will be formed. This is convenient for packing into jars to fill vegetables up to the very neck.
Choose a convenient mode and be sure to try the salad as you go. This is a mouth-watering vitamin thank you for your culinary efforts.
How to sterilize cucumbers in Korean for the winter.
Everything is as usual. Needed sterilized lids and jars, in which we tightly pack the salad. Pour the marinade from the bottom of the container evenly into the jars. Works quickly with a small ladle. It also needs to be washed with soda, rinsed and doused with boiling water.
Place a cotton towel on the bottom of a large deep pan. We put the jars with the salad and fill the pan with warm water - up to the hangers of the jars. It can also be cold. The main thing is not to use boiling water, so that the glass does not burst due to temperature changes. Cover the jars with lids without screwing them on.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to moderate. We need, so that the water gurgles slightly. At such a low boil, we sterilize the seams for the required time, depending on the volume of the container.
Let us repeat how many minutes we need to sterilize different jars:
In any case, during heating, the bright cucumber peel will change color to protective.
We take out the jars after sterilization and close them with a lid - whatever you are used to, with or without a key.
Quickly turn it over, twist it left and right and tilt it, checking to see if the marinade is leaking. We put it in a secluded place and cover it with a blanket. The wrapped jars should cool slowly.
So the favorites of the Slavs are ready for the winter in a Korean-style filling. Cucumbers will last well until winter days and will delight you with a moderately sweet, spicy-spicy taste.
Carrots add an exotic flair to the recipe. That's why we haven't done this kind of roll-up without her yet. It seems to us that pure cucumber preservation will turn out worse using this method.
1) What vegetables should I choose?
In any pickles and marinades, the pickling variety of cucumbers is the most delicious. Don’t be intimidated by the tricky words; choosing these is easy. We buy medium-sized cucumbers (maximum 14 cm in length), which have pimply skin. The color can vary - from solid bright emerald to regular green with light spots.
2) Cutting is everything!
For the most delicious recipe for Korean cucumbers for the winter, it is very important correct cutting vegetables We need the cucumbers to be so thick that they do not soften after sterilization. Therefore, it is better to make it thicker, not thinner. We make only two versions: sticks and weighty rings 1-1.2 cm in thickness.
Moderately thin carrot sticks- out of competition. Although... If we had to do it with a knife, we would think twice. We love it when delicious dishes are prepared quickly and easily. Therefore, loyal fans of the Berner grater.
Just behind the leader - set cucumber slices(about 1 cm thick) and thin carrot slices. They are easy to trim from the root crop with the most ordinary vegetable peeler (vegetable peeling knife).
You can reduce the work by using mugs with a v-shaped grater attachment ala Berner. The main thing is to adjust the step. Otherwise, very thin cucumber slices will lose their elasticity during sterilization.
The last option for no-frills carrots is to grate them on a regular coarse grater. Casual and quite tasty. The advantage is that such a grater is always available, even at the dacha, where there is no other tool at hand.
3) What does red hot pepper give if we use it in this cucumber preparation?
Component required only for dedicated lovers of spicy dishes. Pepper slices are the easiest way to adjust the spiciness - to your taste. You can chop more or less, or remove or leave the seeds.
4) How to make Korean seasoning at home?
Seasonings may not be available in the nearest store, especially during the preparation period.
In this case, you can replace it with regular ground black pepper. Use the same amount freshly ground powder from peas. A mortar, coffee grinder or food mill will come in handy. In our recipe it is 1 tbsp. spoon. There will be no critical loss in taste.
And if you still really want to comply with the canon with coriander, you can make a “Korean-style” spice mixture with your own hands. There is nothing complicated!
Here is the proportion of spices:
*Grind both spices in a coffee grinder or grind in a mortar.
With a slight movement of the hand, the powders turn... into the famous authentic seasoning. The magic of cooking!

Let's take 1.5 kilograms of cucumbers. You can take both overgrown and long ones. To make the cucumbers crunchy in the preparation, soak them in cold water for 4-6 hours. After this procedure, they will not only be crispy, but also acquire a rich green color.
Cut the dried cucumbers into slices 4 centimeters long. Don’t forget to cut off the “butts” on both sides of the fruit.
Now, let's take care of the carrots. Wash and peel 750 grams of root vegetables. We grate it on a Korean carrot grater or cut it into strips by hand.
This is approximately 70-80 grams.
For the marinade we will need: vinegar 9% - 100 milliliters, refined vegetable oil– 100 milliliters, 1.5 heaped tablespoons of salt, sugar – 100 grams, 20 grams of seasoning for Korean carrots (2 tablespoons) and chopped garlic.
Mix all the ingredients together and pour this aromatic “potion” over the prepared cucumbers and carrots.
Mix the Korean cucumber salad prepared for the winter thoroughly.
And put it in the refrigerator for 8 hours. I was able to withstand 10 hours, but this did not affect the result.
So, through certain time the workpiece will release juice and be completely immersed in the resulting aromatic brine. Mix it again and put it in clean sterile jars, pour delicious brine on top. Cover with clean lids.
Next, put the jars in an empty pan for sterilization. Don't forget to place a piece of fabric on the bottom. Let's fill it up cold water so that the water covers the jars with the workpiece up to the hangers. How this looks in practice can be seen in the photo.
Over high heat, bring the water to a boil and slightly reduce the heat. Sterilize cucumbers in Korean for 20 minutes. Then we tighten the lids and set them aside for a day.
From the presented quantity of preparation products, 3 jars of 0.7 liters each and one half-liter jar were obtained.
You can store this tastiest Korean cucumber salad in a cool place all winter. All products turn out very tasty and crispy. This preparation is popular not only among adult eaters, but also among children’s groups, because of its bright color. And it turns out to be more useful due to the presence of carrots.
