Korean "Family"
The name itself suggests that this salad is based on a Korean carrot. However, it should be supplemented with fresh cucumbers and pickled mushrooms. And the cooking process itself comes down to simple operations:
- chop Korean-style carrots (300 g) into pieces 2 cm long;
- several cucumbers need to be cut into thin strips (length - 1.5 cm, thickness - 2 mm);
- the champignons must be dried (using colander), and then chopped into small cubes (200 g);
- combine all the ingredients and grease with mayonnaise;
- decompose into molds;
- garnish with sprigs of parsley or basil.
Add salt or pepper if desired. However, in terms of piquancy, this dish is not inferior even to Indian culinary masterpieces. Still, a little sugar will give this filling an unforgettable taste.
You need to be especially careful when adding mayonnaise. For a large volume, a few spoons are sufficient. The salad should not be too wet, otherwise the tartlets will quickly soften and turn into a pitiful parody.
