How to Make Russian Carrot Salad
- Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots.
- Using a vegetable slicer (a mandoline is ideal), cut the carrots into long, thin, square strips. (Tip: Asian food stores often carry affordable slicers.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1-2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste) or to taste, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander.
- Add the sliced carrots to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently toss to coat the carrots evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more gochujang for extra heat, or more sugar for sweetness.
- Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
