Korean carrot salad

@elenaceliachiastanca

The story behind the Korean carrot salad is unique. It is a dish invented by Koreans who, after moving to the Soviet Union in search of work and a better life, were then relocated to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. To continue eating Kimchi, they made the best with what they had available, which was carrots. This slightly marinated salad has an amazing sweet/sour/spicy taste. This is MY VERSION, not intended to be the original but just a reinterpretation😊
