Best of all, if you already have a special device for slicing carrots in Korean. To do this, simply place it in a food bowl in which you will prepare a snack. Place the carrots laterally in relation to the grater at the most acute angle so that when slicing, strips come out up to 5-8 cm long. Do not try to completely wipe every carrot. So you get straws of different lengths and the aesthetic appearance of the snack will be a little spoiled. Use carrot leftovers to prepare other dishes.

If you have not purchased a chopper for slicing carrots into strips, that's okay. Carrots can be cut manually. Try to choose root crops of those varieties that have a shape close to cylindrical. These include carotel, Nantes, vitamin and others. With a sharp knife for slicing vegetables, cut each carrot lengthwise into 2-3 mm thick plates. If the carrot fruits are long enough, cut the plates across, but not shorter than 5 cm. Now fold several plates of the same size together and chop them along the long side with straws with a thickness of no more than 2-3 mm. You should get a straw of almost the same length and square section. Now the chopped carrots are ready to cook a Korean snack that is popular with all Russians.
note
You should not cook carrots in Korean by rubbing it on a regular grater. With this method of grinding, vegetables lose their spicy crunch.
