Korean eggplant salad (spicy)
For those who like something spicy, there is an excellent recipe for a vegetable salad in which eggplant plays the main role. So I recommend preparing such a bright and tasty salad during the vegetable season. To make the salad truly tasty, you need to let it marinate for several hours. Therefore, prepare it in advance.
For the salad you will need:
- eggplants - 600 gr.
- sweet peppers of different colors - 150 gr.
- carrots - 2 pcs. average
- onions - 1 pc.
- garlic - 4-5 cloves
- hot red pepper - 1/5 pcs.
- coriander - 1 tsp.
- ground pepper - 0.5 tsp.
- sesame seeds - 1 tbsp.
- Rice vinegar (wine, apple, table) - 1 tbsp.
- soy sauce - 2 tbsp.
- honey - 1 tbsp.
- vegetable oil for frying - 80 ml
- salt - 1 tbsp.
- greens (parsley, cilantro) - 4 tbsp.
Korean salad preparation method.
1. You need to start the salad by preparing the eggplants. Wash the eggplants and cut them in half lengthwise. Then cut in half crosswise. Now cut each piece into long strips so that there is skin on each piece. Place the chopped eggplants in a colander, which you place in a bowl. Salt the eggplants and mix well, pressing down a little. Our task is to get rid of excess juice that will flow into the substituted bowl.
2. Cover the eggplants with a plate, pressing it down slightly. Leave the vegetables for 1-2 hours.
3. After 2 hours, the eggplants will release juice. Place a paper towel on a plate, place the eggplants, and pat the top well with another towel to dehydrate the vegetables as much as possible. Sometimes eggplants are squeezed by hand, but this way the juiciness and vitamins are lost.
4. While the eggplants are salting, prepare the remaining vegetables. Grate the carrots using a Korean carrot grater. If you don’t have such a grater, then cut into very thin strips. Cut the sweet pepper into strips. Peppers of different colors will look beautiful in a salad. Cut the onion into half rings, finely chop the garlic and herbs.
5. Cut the hot red pepper into squares. Adjust the amount of hot pepper to taste. Perhaps someone in your family doesn’t like spicy food, but someone, on the contrary, really likes it. In this case, hot pepper can be added in portions.
6. Heat the frying pan very well so that the heat comes from it. Pour in oil for frying. Place the eggplants again on a paper towel and squeeze a little with your hand. Eggplants that have lost their juice well enough take up much less oil when frying.
7. Fry the eggplants over high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Place the eggplants in the pan in one layer, so you will most likely need to make 2 layers. The eggplants will turn out half-cooked, that’s how it should be. Then they will marinate some more.
8. Place the eggplants in a salad bowl. Pour a little vegetable oil into a heated frying pan, add ground coriander and black pepper to the oil. Add chopped hot pepper to them. Fry a little and add onions to them. Fry the onion over high heat for 1 minute to soften it a little. There is no need to fry it. Add carrots to the onion, stir and fry for another 1 minute.
9. Onions and carrots just need to be soaked in the aromas of spices and softened a little. There is no need to fry them; they will also marinate later.
10. Now put all the ingredients in a salad bowl: eggplants, carrots and onions, sweet peppers, garlic (to taste), herbs, toasted sesame seeds. Season the salad with vinegar, honey and soy sauce. Stir and taste for salt and spices. Add vinegar, soy sauce, salt and pepper if necessary. Cover the salad with a plate, press down a little and put in the refrigerator for several hours (at least 4) to marinate.
11. This is such an elegant, aromatic and tasty salad. Suitable as an appetizer for a holiday table or a vegetable salad for dinner. Don’t be lazy to prepare it and you won’t regret it.
