Ingredients:

  • eggplant - 3 pcs. large or 4÷5 pcs. medium,
  • carrots 2÷3 pcs. large,
  • onion 3÷5 pcs.,
  • garlic - 3 cloves,
  • sesame seeds - 2 tbsp. l.,

For marinade:

  • table vinegar 9% - 2 tbsp. l.,
  • soy sauce - 1 tbsp. l.,
  • vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l. + 2 tbsp. l. + 2 tbsp. l.,
  • salt 1 tsp + 2 tsp,

  • ground red paprika - 1/4 tsp,
  • ground coriander - 0.5 tsp,
  • seasoning for Korean carrots - 0.5 tsp,

Cooking process:

Rinse the eggplant running water, cut off the tails and, using a sharp knife, cut into thin long sticks.


Transfer the eggplants to a large deep container, I have a saucepan, and pour 1 tsp. salt.


Leave for half an hour. During this time, the “blue ones” (as eggplants are often called) will secrete juice, which will need to be drained, and the bars themselves should be squeezed out of the liquid.

Put them in a deep saucepan with 3 tbsp. l. heated vegetable oil. Fry under a closed lid over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.


While the eggplant is fried, you can work on other vegetables. Peel the onion and cut into large half rings.


Everyone can adjust the amount of onions for himself. I love it so I use quite a lot. In a pan with 2 tbsp. l. lightly sauté the onion with vegetable oil, literally 3-4 minutes, so that it remains a little crispy, but not bitter.


Peel and grate the carrots for Korean carrots.


Transfer hot eggplants to a large container and put carrots to them, add ground coriander, nutmeg, black pepper, red paprika and seasoning for Korean carrots.


Add garlic, passed through a garlic press, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, 2 tsp to vegetables. salt and mix all ingredients.


Fry sesame seeds quickly with constant stirring in a pan without adding vegetable oil. As soon as the aroma of sesame seeds is felt, you must immediately remove the pan from the heat. Put the sesame seeds and fried onions to the eggplant-carrot mixture.


Mix everything thoroughly again.


Cover the pan with a lid and let the appetizer stand for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator so that each piece of vegetable absorbs the spicy marinade and fills with the aroma of Korean cuisine.

Before serving, put the Korean-style eggplant in a slide on a plate and garnish with greens. The perfect appetizer for any table!

The snack can be stored in the refrigerator, but not for long, only a week.

We cook quickly, we eat with pleasure!

Korean eggplant is a snack that many people know and love, but not many people know that it can be cooked at home, and literally in 30 minutes. Of course, this eggplant recipe is an analogue of Korean cuisine, but I can say with confidence that it is no less tasty, and at the same time you will know exactly what the appetizer is made of.

For cooking eggplant in Korean fast food take the groceries from the list. Eggplants need to be washed, dried, and the tails removed.

In a deep bowl, mix vinegar, sugar and salt.

Put in the microwave for 1 minute so that the marinade warms up well and the sugar and salt are almost dissolved. Add chopped onion to the hot marinade.

Eggplant, if very large, cut into two parts. Boil in salted water for up to 10 minutes if they are young and dense, and for 6-7 minutes if ripe. Throw in a colander to glass the water, cool slightly, peel.

While the eggplant is cooking, stir the onion constantly so that it marinates evenly.

Cut the eggplant into small pieces, put in a deep bowl.

Add pickled onion along with marinade.

Add carrots in Korean.

Mix, leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

In any convenient dish, heat the vegetable oil in the microwave - 1 minute.

Pour oil into eggplant, mix. Add chopped cilantro and, if desired, hot pepper or sauce, you can add a little garlic if there is not enough of it in the finished Korean carrot. You can also add a little soy sauce, it is also very tasty with it.

Instant Korean eggplant is ready and the appetizer can be served immediately, but it is better to let them marinate for another 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Bon appetit everyone!

The fastest pickled eggplant in Korean. Step by step recipe

  1. We need to cut the washed and wiped eggplants into thin sticks. First, cut off the tails on both sides and cut the eggplant into four parts: lengthwise and across. We cut each cut part of the blue one into sticks.
  2. The eggplants were placed in a bowl and sprinkled with salt. Do not forget to mix so that the salt is not only on the top eggplants, but also gets on the bottom ones. Leave it like this for one hour.
  3. An hour has passed, we drain the formed dark juice from the eggplants and wash them under running water.
  4. Next, prepare the eggplant directly for pickling. They can be boiled, fried in sunflower oil and simply baked in the oven. I, as a lover of instant Korean eggplant, choose baking in the oven. This has its advantages: as I said, eggplant cooks quickly and will not be as greasy as when fried.
  5. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with vegetable oil. And put eggplant on it. We cover them with food foil from above: so they will not burn with us. And put in a preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. When they become soft, they can be removed from the oven. If you still decide to cook them, then lower them into boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Then let them cool down.
  6. We clean the carrots and, of course, wash them. Then we cut it with a Korean vegetable shredder. Pour in boiling water and leave for 3 minutes. After that, rinse it through a colander cold water. Our carrots will be soft after that.
  7. We will cut the peeled onion into half rings.
  8. Do not forget to wash the sweet pepper and remove the core from it, along with the seeds. Cut the pepper into four parts, and then chop into thin strips.
  9. In a sufficiently large container, mix all our chopped and grated vegetables, except for eggplant. Add garlic to them, which must be crushed or passed through a press.
  10. It's time to add the spices. Salt, coriander, black and red hot peppers, vinegar, sugar and sunflower oil. A spoonful of salt should be taken without a slide, the amount of pepper can be reduced or vice versa, increased. This is already a matter of taste. Hot red pepper can be replaced with bitter capsicum, taking half or a third of the whole pepper.
  11. Mix the vegetables, cover with a lid or film on top. Set aside to marinate for 5-6 hours.
  12. And now we mix pickled vegetables and still warm, not cooled eggplants, mix. Korean-style quick marinated eggplants with carrots are ready - this is a dish option for eating right away.
  13. If you decide to prepare this yummy for future use, for the winter, then we will continue to preserve them.
  14. We need three liter jars: you can take six half-liter jars. Be sure to sterilize them in a way convenient for you: over steam or in the oven. And spread the Korean-style pickled vegetables in sterile jars.
  15. Pour cold water into a large saucepan. Lay a towel at the bottom of the pan and place the jars, adding water up to their necks, to sterilize. As soon as the water boils in the pan, count exactly 35 minutes if you have liter jars, and 20 minutes if you have half-liter jars.
  16. Then remove the jars from boiling water and immediately roll them up with sterile lids. As usual, turn the jars upside down, wrap them up and let them cool completely.

Korean marinated eggplants are ready. Be sure to cook them according to this recipe. And in winter, opening a jar of eggplants, you will immediately feel the aromas of summer: a delicate smell of sweet pepper, a hint of garlic and an incomparable aroma of coriander.

Among the winter preparations on the shelves of caring housewives, eggplant caviar takes pride of place, however, this is not the only way to preserve blue ones for the winter. For those who love spicy snacks, Korean eggplant recipes are worth trying.

Korean cuisine is characterized by the use of hot herbs and spices, such as red pepper and coriander. Dishes lend themselves to the minimum heat treatment necessary to bring the vegetables to readiness. Therefore, the ingredients are well ground with a knife or grater.

To cook eggplant in Korean style, they are pre-treated with salt. As you know, eggplant pulp contains solanine, which gives it a bitter aftertaste. Vegetables sprinkled with salt begin to secrete juice, and bitterness comes out with it.

The vegetables themselves should have a dense skin, without signs of damage and decay. Fresh, recently picked eggplants have a green tail that has not dried out. If the stem is sluggish, Brown, it is better to refrain from using such vegetables.

For the preparation of snacks, it is better to take young blue ones, no more than 15 cm in length - they are not so bitter.

Eggplant salad with soy sauce

To prepare spicy eggplant in Korean, vegetables in the amount of 4 pcs. cut lengthwise, put on a baking sheet and bake in the oven. Make sure that the pulp remains elastic, and it can be cut. If desired, the vegetables are boiled, but in this case, the eggplant must be put under a press after cooking so that the excess water drains.

Cut the prepared vegetables into thin, but long sticks and put in a salad bowl.

Add 6 crushed slices.

AND green onion, previously chopped.

Squeeze the juice from a whole lemon and pour it into the salad.

Water the vegetables soy sauce(about 6 tablespoons), sprinkle a little with red pepper and 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds, previously roasted.

Stir the salad and let it brew for two hours.

This dish is a spicy salad of eggplant, carrots, onions and sweet peppers, which has a sweet and sour taste thanks to a special marinade.
