2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 onion, diced
1 tsp. Asian chili oil (or to taste)
1 ½ tsp. honey
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground coriander or crushed coriander seeds
½ tsp. salt
1/4 cup white vinegar or rice vinegar
2 Tbsp. tasteless vegetable oil (such as canola)
Sauté onion in one tablespoon oil until just translucent. Cut carrots into 3 to 4 inch lengths. With mandolin, cut carrots into julienne strips (or grate on large holes of grater, but this is not as good). Add remaining ingredients, and refrigerate 4 to 5 hours or overnight.
This is a delicious salad or appetizer sold in markets throughout Russia. A beet version is also delicious and the two displayed together are spectacular. My sister Carolyn and I encountered them in the Ukraine where it was one of many appetizers served before dinner at the home where we stayed in Gleuckstal. It is Korean in origin, introduced in Russia by ethnic Koreans from the far eastern Soviet Union who were deported by Stalin to Russia's western frontiers. In Ukrainian markets, it is displayed in huge beautiful orange piles, along with purple piles of marinated julienned beets , cucumbers, and other intriguing prepared salads to buy and take home.
