Pick your recipe
You will need
- pumpkin - 1 kg
- onions - 1 large head,
- vegetable oil - 1/3 cup,
- 3% table vinegar - 1/2 cup,
- salt - 0.5 tsp,
- sugar - 1 tsp,
- ground black and red pepper to taste,
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
Instruction manual
1
First of all, you need to divide the pumpkin into slices, so that it is more convenient to peel it. Then each slice is rubbed on a Korean grater in the form of straws. If the carrots grated in this way are still thoroughly kneading with your hands to give it softness, then you do not need to do this with a pumpkin. Its flesh is more tender.
2
Just dilute the vinegar to 3% of the state (1:20) and pour the grated vegetable in a cup. Mix everything using a large spoon and cover with a lid or plate. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes. While the pumpkin is pickled, cut thin onions into thin rings and fry it until golden in a pan in vegetable oil.

Pumpkin, meanwhile, has already given the juice to be drained along with the excess marinade. Then add salt, sugar, pepper to the pumpkin and pour everything with hot oil with onions. If desired, chopped garlic, coriander can be added to the contents, if these spices are to someone's taste. However, spicy pumpkin salad is good without them.
4
The final touch in the recipe is soy sauce, but you can use the ready-made Chim-Chim dressing for carrots if you wish. In general, all the ingredients for carrots can be used to make Korean pumpkin. Only if you like the spicy-sweet taste of salads, you can increase the amount of sugar.
note
It will be more convenient to rub the pumpkin if you remove the inner layer in which the seeds were removed with a knife. Otherwise, he will hammer the grater, and in the salad it does not look very presentable.
Useful advice
To get exactly half a glass of 3% vinegar, you can use a teaspoon as a measure. 1 such spoon of vinegar essence and 20 water will give the required volume.
