How to cook tomatoes in Korean

The main feature of Korean cuisine is not at all the craving for specific meat dishes that is mentioned in all the jokes, but an ineradicable love for spices, which literally everything is seasoned with in abundance here. So it is worth revising the spice cabinet, and at the same time stocking up on tomatoes. Not necessarily ripe, but even, without spots and, preferably, the same size: this way the fruits will be salted more evenly.

It remains to decide exactly how you want to cook them tomatoes.

With bell pepper and carrots

For one of the easiest to prepare and most affordable snacks, you'll need:

• 2 kg of red or yellow tomatoes;
• 4 carrots;
• 5 bell peppers;
• 5 cloves of garlic;
• a small bunch of dill, parsley and cilantro;
• 100 ml of 9% apple cider vinegar;
• 100 ml of vegetable oil;
• ground chili;
• 0.5 tsp coriander;
• 100 g sugar
• 2 tbsp. l. salt.

Preparation:

1. Sterilize the jars.

   

   In the oven, microwave, double boiler or the old-fashioned way, over a pot of boiling water - decide for yourself

2. Wash the tomatoes, cut out the stalks and cut the fruits into slices.

   

   Chop tomatoes at random

3. Remove the stem and seeds from the pepper.

   

   There is no need to grind pepper

4. Peel the carrots and garlic.

   

   Marinade will be bright and spicy

5. Free the greens from the tough tails.

   

   In addition to cilantro, parsley and dill, you can take other greens to your liking.

6. Combine carrots, peppers, garlic, herbs, spices, vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar and salt in a blender bowl and grind until a granular gruel is obtained.

   

   The dressing should not be uniform, do not overdo it

7. Place a layer of tomatoes on the bottom of the jars.

   

   Some people advise putting some oil on the bottom of the can.

8. Cover them with a layer of chopped vegetable marinade.

   

   The amount of marinade varies depending on the desire of the cook, but usually a few spoons are enough

9. Repeat steps 7-8 until you fill the jar almost to the top.

   

   It remains to sterilize, and you can roll up

10. Cover the bottom of the pan with a linen napkin, place jars of vegetables on top, fill with water so that it covers the containers “up to the shoulders”, and boil for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size.

    

    Two-liter cans will have to be boiled for about half an hour

11. Seal the jars, cool, turning the bottoms upside down, and put away for storage.

Spicy green tomatoes

Appreciate spiciness in appetizers above all? Then try combining tomatoes with onions and hot peppers. You will not regret.

You will need:

• 3 kg of green tomatoes;
• 1.5 kg of bell pepper;
• 2 hot peppers;
• 300 g of onions;

• 1 tbsp. l. spices for carrots in Korean;
• 200 g sugar;

Preparation:

1. Chop the tomatoes at random - not too large, not too small.

   

   The easiest place to start is with tomatoes.

2. Peel the bell peppers from seeds, remove the stalks and cut into thin strips.

   

   The color of the pepper can be any, but it is green that goes well with green tomatoes

3. Chop and hot peppers.

   

   If the seeds are not removed, the snack will be spicier.

4. Peel and chop the onion and garlic.

   

   This time, we suggest doing without a blender

5. Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions and garlic in one bowl, add vinegar, oil, spices, salt and sugar. Stir.

   

   Stir vegetables with spices

6. Put the vegetable salad in prepared jars, place in a saucepan covered with a napkin, cover with water, boil for 15-30 minutes and seal.

You will need:

• 2 kg of tomatoes;

• 100 g sugar;
• 2 tbsp. l. salt.

Cooking.

1. Remove the stalks and seeds from peppers, and grind the pulp in a blender or using a meat grinder.

   

   Do not try to achieve complete uniformity, the pepper pieces should be felt on the tongue

2. Peel the garlic, pass through a press and add to the pepper.

   

   Add the spicy gruel to the pepper puree

3. Finely chop the greens, not forgetting to discard the tough cuttings, and add to the blender bowl too.

   

   With herbs, the snack will become tastier and more aromatic.

4. Mix vegetable oil with spices, sugar, salt, vinegar. Combine everything with peppers, herbs and garlic.

   

   The marinade will turn out to be quite liquid

5. Cut out the stalks of the tomatoes, and cut the vegetables themselves as you want.

   

   Cut small tomatoes into halves, large ones into quarters

6. Peel and cut the cucumbers as you used to do for salad. Put in layers in jars: tomatoes with cucumbers - marinade - tomatoes with cucumbers - marinade - and so on, until you fill the container almost to the top.

   

   Mix juicy slices in one bowl

7. Place the jars in a pot of water on a napkin under the bottom.

   

   Don't forget that jars must be sterilized

8. Boil containers for 15-30 minutes and seal.
