Beet more Korean

Cookinero 20 Dec 2022

Korean beetroot is a kind of variation on the theme of the famous carrot. Do you know that both of these recipes did not appear at all in the country that seems obvious?! In Korea, only cabbage was prepared in a similar way (only many times spicier). And pickling carrots was first started by emigrants from this country, who, fleeing the Japanese occupation, moved to the Far East, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the 30s of the XX century. Why this particular root crop? Simply because cabbage in these regions was not widespread, unlike carrots. Thus, the Koreans adapted their native recipes to the new realities. Well, where carrots, there are other root crops! Therefore, we suggest that you check the recipe for Korean-style beets - spicy, fragrant, very appetizing!
