Almost any available vegetable/meat/fish (underline as appropriate), kept in a spicy marinade with the addition of hot pepper, coriander, vinegar, sugar and vegetable oil is automatically considered an achievement of Korean cuisine. This misconception is widespread not only in our country, but where it came from is not known for certain anywhere. Well, Koreans don’t eat carrots, beets, and especially herring in such quantities. However, our home cooking in this sense does not give a damn about conventions, which I personally am very happy about, and every year I gladly roll up Korean-style cucumbers for the winter. After several years of experimenting, I still haven’t chosen the most delicious recipe, so I offer you two excellent options for canned cucumber salad appetizers to try.
This preservation is unpretentious; all jars “survive” well until the cold weather in a cellar or dark pantry. It is better to store opened cucumbers in the refrigerator, but they usually do not stay there for long. An excellent alternative to traditional pickled cucumbers and gherkins for lovers of unusual combinations and spicy dishes.

Ingredients:
*If you don’t have a ready-made set of spices, mix ground coriander seeds, sweet paprika, black and red pepper in arbitrary proportions (to taste).

How to prepare Korean cucumbers for the winter with carrots (the simplest and most delicious recipe with photos):
|
Before pickling, it is advisable to soak the cucumbers in cold, clean water for 5-6 hours or overnight. After such water procedures, the vegetables will become crispier and the smallest particles of soil will be removed from their surface. Dry the washed cucumbers. Cut off the ends. Cut into cubes or long strips 2-2.5 cm thick. If the peel is thick, you can remove it. Place the slices in a deep bowl. |
 |
|
Peel the carrots. Grate using a special grater for Korean salads or a regular coarse one. Send to cucumbers. |
 |
|
In a small jar, mix salt and sugar with vinegar. Close. Shake. Or just stir with a whisk/fork. It is desirable that the grains dissolve completely. |
 |
|
Peel the garlic cloves. Grind using a crusher or grate on a fine grater. Transfer to vegetables. You can use more or less garlic, depending on the desired spiciness of the snack. |
 |
|
Add Korean salad dressing or spices according to the list above. They must be of high quality and not contain synthetic additives, so that the crispiest, most delicious and aromatic Korean cucumbers can survive safely until winter. |
 |
|
Pour in a mixture of vinegar, sugar and salt. Add vegetable oil. Stir. Cover with a lid. Place in a cool place for 6-8 hours. Stir the vegetables every 1-2 hours while marinating. |
 |
|
In a few hours, the cucumbers and carrots will be well soaked in the Korean dressing. A lot of liquid will be released - marinade. It will be used when canning salad. |
 |
|
Prepare the jars: wash with baking soda/laundry soap inside and out, dry. Place cucumbers with Korean seasoning among containers. Pour the liquid released when the salad steeps on top so that it completely covers the vegetables and reaches the edges of the container. If the marinade is not enough, add clean hot boiled water. Cover the preservation with clean, sterile lids. Place in a large saucepan with water (it should reach about 2/3 of the height of the jars, so that when boiling, splashes do not get inside). It is advisable to place a thick cloth (silicone mat) at the bottom of the sterilization tank. This will distribute the heat more evenly. Sterilize delicious Korean cucumbers for 10 minutes (in a half-liter container) or a quarter of an hour (liter containers). Record the time after the water boils in the pan. Roll up with a machine. Turn the lids down. Wrap in thick fabric (old fur coat, sheepskin coat, blanket). |

After the jars of Korean pickled cucumbers have cooled completely, store them in the basement or pantry until winter. When serving, you can sprinkle with sesame seeds, toasted in a dry frying pan. |

The preparation is really worth the time spent on it in the summer. An amazing alternative to traditional pickled preserves.
To prepare, take:
Exit: about 2.5 l
One of the most delicious recipes:
|
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Soak in cold water for several hours. Cut off the ends and cut the cucumbers lengthwise into long thin strips. Place in a deep bowl. It is advisable to check the cucumbers for bitterness before slicing. Especially if they are grown in open ground. |
 |
|
Press the garlic through a press or finely grate. Transfer to cucumbers. Stir. |
 |
|
Place into clean, dry jars. It is better to preserve this Korean salad in a small container with a capacity of 0.5-1 liters. |
 |
|

 |
|
Pour hot liquid into the jars. If you plan to store the product for the winter in the pantry, additionally sterilize it in the oven (at a temperature of 150 degrees) or in a large saucepan with water at a moderate boil. The sterilization time for liter jars is 15 minutes, for half-liter jars - 10. If you are going to put the preserves in the refrigerator or a dark, cool, dry cellar, you can roll up these cucumbers in Korean without sterilization. Lids must be sterile and dry before rolling. If you don’t have a seaming key (machine), you can seal the preserves with screw caps (twist-off). They do not need to be sterilized. Just wash them and keep them in hot water. Cool upside down (do not turn jars with twist-off lids upside down, they may leak) under a thick blanket/fur coat. |
 |

Transfer to a storage location for the next day. Store until winter in a cool, dry place, away from constant bright light. When serving, you can sprinkle with soy sauce and sesame oil. |

Good luck and delicious preparations!
If traditional vegetable preparations have long become boring, and you want to pamper yourself and your loved ones with some canned “exclusive”, we advise you to prepare Korean-style cucumbers for the winter. This spicy cold appetizer will appeal to all lovers of spicy and crispy foods, and after trying it once, you will surely include Korean cucumbers for the winter in the list of your favorite preserves. Let's check?
Cooking cucumbers in the Korean style is notable for the fact that overgrown and slightly yellowed cucumbers are perfect for this preparation. These are absolutely not suitable for marinating, but they are absolutely not suitable for preparing a savory snack. For Korean-style preparations, as well as for other types of preserves, pickling varieties of cucumbers with dark pimples are best suited. The main companion of cucumbers in spicy preparations, of course, is carrots, from which the name of this preservation comes. However, there are recipes without adding carrots, but this does not make the cucumbers any less tasty, because the spicy, aromatic marinade works wonders. Also, Korean-style cucumbers for the winter can be prepared with the addition of bell peppers, onions, garlic, hot chili peppers, tomatoes and even eggplants - here everything is decided only by your taste. Additional ingredients undoubtedly make the snack more satisfying and attractive in appearance. For example, if you take bell peppers of different colors, the preparation will turn out incredibly bright and appetizing. Hot chili peppers and garlic allow you to adjust the spiciness of the preparation, so add these components at your discretion.
The technology for preparing cucumbers in Korean is extremely simple. Cucumbers and other vegetables, if used in the recipe, are chopped, mixed with the marinade and infused for several hours. Separately, it is worth mentioning the cutting of vegetables. If you want the cucumbers to have a pleasant crunch in the preparation, you should not chop them too much - it is best to cut them into strips about 4-6 cm long. Small cucumbers up to 10 cm long are cut in half lengthwise, and then again into two parts. Larger fruits should be cut lengthwise twice, and then crosswise in half again. As an option, the cucumbers can be cut into slices about 1 cm thick. If cut very thin, the cucumbers will lose their elasticity during pickling and will not crisp. Carrots are usually grated for Korean salads in the form of long strips. You can also grate cucumbers on this grater. Each housewife chooses her own method of cutting vegetables based on personal preferences, so it is better to experiment in this matter. By the way, do not forget to pre-soak the cucumbers before canning - this procedure refreshes the vegetables, makes them elastic and crispy, and at the same time removes small particles of soil.
Marinade for Korean cucumbers is most often prepared from a mixture of vegetable oil, vinegar, salt, sugar and spices. Often soy sauce or mustard is added to the marinade. It is usually recommended to marinate vegetables for an average of 3 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally, but if necessary, you can marinate vegetables overnight, for 8-10 hours. During this time, even more juice will be released, and this is exactly what is needed for the subsequent filling of vegetables in jars. It is most convenient to take small jars for blanks - 0.5 l or 1 l in volume.
Of course, a very important attribute of Korean-style cucumbers for the winter are spices and seasonings, which give the preparation that same piquant taste and unique aroma. The easiest way is to use ready-made Korean carrot seasoning, which today is easy to purchase in any store. But if you don’t have one at hand, it doesn’t matter. You can make the seasoning yourself by grinding a teaspoon of black peppercorns, a teaspoon of coriander seeds, a teaspoon of dried garlic and ground chili pepper on the tip of a knife using a coffee grinder or mortar. From the specified amount of ingredients you will get 1 tablespoon of seasoning. If desired, you can also use ground sweet paprika. It is worth noting that coriander is an invariable ingredient in Korean salads, so if you want to prepare the preparation according to all the rules, be sure to add this component.
Korean cucumbers for the winter will be an excellent alternative to traditional salted and pickled vegetables, diversifying your diet. When serving, this appetizer can be topped with soy sauce, sesame oil, or sprinkled with lightly toasted sesame seeds in a dry frying pan. Spicy cucumbers with spicy and sweet notes are simply amazingly delicious, try it yourself!

Mix all the ingredients together and pour this aromatic “potion” over the prepared cucumbers and carrots.
Mix the Korean cucumber salad prepared for the winter thoroughly.
And put it in the refrigerator for 8 hours. I was able to withstand 10 hours, but this did not affect the result.
So, after a certain time, the workpiece will release juice and be completely immersed in the resulting aromatic brine. Mix it again and put it in clean sterile jars, pour delicious brine on top. Cover with clean lids.
Next, put the jars in an empty pan for sterilization. Don't forget to place a piece of fabric on the bottom. Fill it with cold water so that the water covers the jars with the workpiece up to the shoulders. How this looks in practice can be seen in the photo.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat and reduce the heat slightly. Sterilize cucumbers in Korean style for 20 minutes. Then we screw on the lids and set them aside for a day.

In general, it turns out not only superbly attractive, but you also want to try this delicacy again and again with new potatoes or with any type of meat. Oh, it wouldn't hurt to come here.
We will need:
- cucumber – 1 kg
- carrots – 5 pcs. around 380 g
- hot red pepper – 1 pod
- garlic – 8-10 cloves
- vinegar essence 9% – 45 ml
- salt – 1 tbsp
- sugar – 3 tbsp
- parsley – a small bunch
- chopped coriander – 0.5 tsp
- peppercorns - 15 pcs.
Stages:
1. The first important point is to take only juicy and not soft cucumbers, because exactly what they will be initially will be the result. Otherwise, you want them to crunch, but why should they be like that if they are already stiff.
So, chop the green fruits into small pieces, as you see in this pan. The dimensions are approximately the same, the length of the pieces is about 6.5 cm and the width is 6.5 mm. But this does not mean that you need to measure to the millimeter, approximately.
Don't forget to cut off the "butts" of the cucumbers, they are not needed, discard them.
2. Then move on to cutting the carrots. Using a grater, chop it quite thinly to form strings. Combine with cucumbers, then crumble washed parsley, cut into pieces, and a pod of hot pepper. It can be chopped into large pieces.
Peel the garlic head and then squeeze each clove through a garlic press.
4. What a delight it turned out to be. Cover the pan with a lid or film and let it stand in a warm place, right on the table, and soak.
Cooking time is about 4 hours, during which time a lot of marinade should be released.
To prevent the jar from bursting, you need to put an old towel on the bottom, and place the jar in cold water, not boiling water.
6. Usually containers of 0.5 l and 1 l are taken. Too big, like 3 liters, are not suitable, you won’t eat them in one or two times. Using a seamer, tightly tighten and be sure to check by turning the jar over and looking to see if liquid is running over the edge.
7. This is how beautiful it turned out. Store in a cool place, and in the fall you can arrange a tasting of the finished product. Bon appetit! The shelf life is usually 1-1.5 years.
Korean-style crispy pickled cucumbers for the winter

5. Wrap in film or a bag and let stand and release all the juices in the refrigerator for about 24 hours. Every 3-4 hours you can take out the mass and mix with a silicone spatula.
6. Then take the jars and lids sterilized, place the chopped and pickled vegetables with the released brine from the refrigerator. Remember that the marinade should completely cover the appetizer in the jar.
In principle, you can eat it, but for winter, pack it in jars.
Place the jar with the prepared salad in a saucepan, there should be cold water in it, and a cloth napkin on the bottom and boil for 15 minutes. Place a metal lid on top of the jar, but do not cover it completely, leave some space.
7. There should be enough water in the pan to fit the shoulders of a liter jar or half a liter. Then roll it up with a special machine and turn the jar upside down and wrap it under a blanket or fur coat. After 2 days, lower everything into the cellar.

After 15-20 minutes, shake them in a colander to remove all excess moisture.
Afterwards, add salt to the gherkins and mix with your hands. And here, it is important that they stand a little and release the juice.
2. Chop the carrots with a special grater, which is usually used when preparing carrots in Korean. Chop the bell pepper and green onion into stick-like pieces.
Be careful with chili pepper, add it to taste, do not overdo it, otherwise you will become like a dragon or Gorynych serpent (chop finely). Ah-ha.
2. Make a dressing, pour in soy sauce, then two tablespoons of rice sauce, sesame oil and of course sugar, stir so that there is not a single grain.
3. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and pour in the sauce, stir. Throw in the sesame seeds. Eat for your health, but remember that the salad must stand and brew.
3. Good question, how long? Probably, at least 30-40 minutes, or better yet an hour, and you can do a tasting. Enjoy your health. Crispy and savory is the motto of this dish!
