I've got a quick and easy recipe for a spicy salad (if you can call it that) made with carrots in an Asian style. It's a great light appetizer or side dish for a main course. It's pretty simple to put together, and I'm sure you've already got everything you need in your kitchen!
Carrots are cut into thin slices with a vegetable peeler, dressed with a mixture of spices and oils, and marinated for 10-15 minutes. As a result, it acquires a pleasant spiciness and rich flavor. This appetizer is not only delicious, but also harmless for your waistline! Great for those who watch their weight and diet.
What's important - pay attention to the slicing. The slices should be thin enough to soak up the dressing as quickly as possible (while still being crispy). If you're not a fan of spicy, I recommend not going crazy with the peppers and garlic: let the flavor of the carrots stand out, and the spiciness only accentuate it.
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut off the tops.
Using a vegetable peeler, cut the carrots into long thin slices. Place all the slices in the prepared container with an airtight lid.
Do not use the core of the carrot - it is often bitter and can spoil the flavor of the dish!
Finely chop half of the hot chili pepper (along with the seeds). Add it to the carrots along with the finely minced garlic, all the liquid ingredients (soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey) and ground red paprika.
Close the container and shake well to mix everything together. Let the carrots marinate for 10-15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, the carrots will be ready to eat. Serve with sesame seeds and scallions. Bon appetit!
You can store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days.
