How to Make Russian Carrot Salad

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots.
  2. Using a vegetable slicer (a mandoline is ideal), cut the carrots into long, thin, square strips. (Tip: Asian food stores often carry affordable slicers.)
  3. 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.
  4. Add the sliced carrots to the bowl with the dressing.
  5. Gently toss to coat the carrots evenly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more gochujang for extra heat, or more sugar for sweetness.
  7. Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
