Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with fried cucumbers? First of all, prepare all the necessary ingredients that are specified in the recipe.
Step 2:
Peel carrots, onions and garlic. Wash all vegetables in cool water and dry with paper napkins to get rid of moisture residues. Cut off the cucumbers'tails'. Rinse the greens.
Step 3:
Cut the onion in half, and then chop each half into thin half rings.
Step 4:
Grate carrots on a grater for Korean salads.
Step 5:
Grate the cucumber as well.
Step 6:
Flip the cucumber into a colander to get rid of excess juice and leave it this way for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, start frying vegetables.
Step 7:
Heat the odorless vegetable oil in a frying pan. For frying vegetables, it is better to use a frying pan with a thick bottom. Put the onion in the oil and cook over moderate heat until a characteristic smell appears and the half-rings become transparent. I like intensely fried onions in a salad, so I cook until the onion gets a golden hue. Do not forget to stir the onion periodically, otherwise it will burn.
Step 8:
Put the carrot in the pan. Cook for about 3-5 minutes more, stirring the vegetable roast from time to time.
Step 9:
When the carrots are ready, add the cucumbers to the pan. Mix gently, cook until the cucumber ribbons change their color. It is important not to overdo the vegetables in the pan, otherwise the cucumber may turn into porridge.
Step 10:
Add finely chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Garlic can be excluded from the list of ingredients if desired. If you want to get a spicy salad, then add a pinch of ground chili pepper. Sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped dill.
Sesame seeds are very suitable for such a salad. They will give a special zest to the finished dish, so if possible, use them too.
Salad with fried cucumbers is delicious both hot and cold.
It will perfectly complement chicken, fish, meat and potatoes.
Bon appetit!
Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a hard sponge under running water.
To avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the eyes when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
