"KOREAN ZABACHOK" SALAD FOR WINTER

INGREDIENTS:

zucchini 3 kg
carrots 500 g

sugar 200 g
vegetable oil 100 g

seasoning for Korean carrots 1 pack

RECIPE:

To prepare the salad, peel and seed the zucchini and grate for Korean carrots. This only applies to old fruits with a hard skin and seeds. If the zucchini is young, it is not necessary to remove the skin.

2. Peel the carrots and grate them like zucchini, cut the onion into small cubes. Put all prepared vegetables in one bowl. Mix spices, crushed garlic, oil, vinegar and add to vegetables. Arrange the salad in sterile, half-liter jars.

3. For sterilization, take a tall saucepan and cover the bottom with a towel. Place the salad jars at the bottom of the pan and pour water to the height of the salad in the jars. Sterilize for 30 minutes. Roll up and wrap up Korean zucchini salad for the winter.

bangs, Natasha, to me on you, please.
Yes, when I saw the price of 1800 and on the mechanical one I already understood what it was and I needed, so at once I decided

Today I tried a slope on a carrot. Pieces of 4-5 cm are obtained.

Thank you! It was conceived that way, that is, it was theoretically understandable. But no one has yet shown the result from an inclined tube, and so I wanted to see what exactly turns out.

[Cirre]

Cirre, for the winter I do not need, but just to eat, so wonderful salad !!!!

[Lerele]

You can also for the winter, or you can eat like that

[Cirre]

I wanted to see what exactly turns out

Good at it. The diameter is the same spiral, but short, just the case when you don't want long ones.
I forgot to try spiraling on a straight line, cutting the carrots along. It will be necessary to compare these methods.
Larisa said that eating long ones is not convenient, and since then I also sometimes cut vegetables along the length for short spirals. I bring variety.
Cirre, Galina, beautiful recipe, bright. We also do not use blanks, but making fresh salad with a spiralizer is easy.

try to spiral by cutting the carrots lengthwise.

and I, by the way, have already tried: I cut both carrots and zucchini in two or three places along,
and mostly short "brackets" turned out ...

[bangs]

bangs, Natasha, so I also want to compare these brackets in oblique and forward, for experiment.

I don't like cropped ones.
I saw in some foreign video even before the purchase, and immediately tried it, as I bought it - the wrong coat. They are kind of short and uneven. I liked the result from an inclined tube.

So let Travolka have only 2 blades, but there is an inclined tube, and whoever bought it for 1800 is absolutely cool. All the same, the most common blades and two options for cutting with them. I'm 9mm. I hardly use it. Mostly 2mm. and 4mm. depends on the vegetable (I make zucchini 4mm., because when 2mm. then drain more juice, and carrots 2mm), and strips.

[marina-mm-Marina,]

I also want to compare these brackets in oblique and forward, for experiment.

Fun car!

marina-mm-Marina, but on the widest blade and on the inclined, what happens? "Crisps"?

I'm 9mm. I hardly use it. Mostly 2mm. and 4mm. depends on the vegetable (zucchini I make 4mm., because when 2mm. then drain more juice, and carrots 2mm), and strips.

Miranda, the same: zucchini by 4 mm, carrots-beets by 2 mm.

As for 9 mm, I use it to make fruits for baking ... yes, and also spiral cucumbers ...

[bangs]

marina-mm-Marina, but on the widest blade and on the inclined, what happens? "Crisps"?

bangs, Natasha, maybe chips, I'll try and tell you. I have spiraled so much today, and for lunch and dinner, I will continue the experiments tomorrow.
Miranda, I tried the trimmed ones on a mechanical one, I did not like the carrots, not uniform curls, but the pub was not bad, it was of the same diameter along the entire length and took a plump specimen (it will not enter Travolka), even curls came out.
I tried to measure the size of the blades in Gravola, not 4 mm, more like 3 mm.
bangs, Natasha, and Kenwood nozzle in the picture in a box what size of the blade?

[marina-mm]

As for 9 mm, I use it to make fruits for baking ... yes, and also spiral cucumbers ...

Here are also fruits, yes, but for some reason there are not many fruits yet.

marina-mm, I'll wait about the chips
It's a pity that Kenwood doesn't have an inclined tube, and I definitely won't buy a second vertical one.

[marina-mm-Marina]

maybe chips, I'll try and tell you. I have spiraled so much today, and for lunch and dinner, I will continue the experiments tomorrow.

bangs, Natasha, and Kenwood is the nozzle in the picture in the box of what size of the blade?

marina-mm-Marina, I will also wait for the continuation of the experiments.

And in that picture, it seems to be 4 mm (most likely, as it turned out to be at hand (spiral zucchini)).

And to me, too, on "you" ...

By the way, a comparison of the blades (I've already posted here, but just in case, again): 2 mm (Kenwood) and 3 mm (Gemlux).

[bangs]

bangs, Natasha, Thank you. Tomorrow I'll take another look at Travola with a ruler, there is no instruction, I didn't find anything about the size in the paper either, I want to understand the size of the blades, while I think it's 3mm.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, Marina! So maybe the size of the finished carrot-beet is easier to measure?
And what is the second size in Travola? I patted something with my ears.

[Masha Ivanova]

Masha Ivanova, there is a flat strip.
How wide the vegetable is, so is the strip.

[Miranda]

Miranda, Miranda, thanks!

I carry on my experiments with Travola.
Potatoes on an inclined flat blade really turned into "chips", neat, about 2 mm thick, there was a small piece thicker than the "chipsina", this piece is visible from above with pricked dots. The inclined pusher has small plastic spikes for holding the vegetable without fixing it.


The carrots were first cut on an inclined grater from the narrow end of the vegetable, so the length is only 4 cm, if you take a thicker vegetable, then the pieces will be longer, about 5 cm.
Then the same carrot was cut lengthwise 1 time and launched through a straight channel, the pieces were cut in length equal to the diameter of the vegetable. Not a bad option if you don't want long spirals.
The thickness of the sliced ​​carrots is less than 3 mm, I think it should be considered that the nozzle itself in Travola is 3 mm.

[marina-mm-Marina]

I carry on my experiments with Travola.

marina-mm-Marina, test results of the experiment!
Good equipment: many questions can be solved!

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, Thank you.
You have a great machine for a great price!

[bangs]

bangs, Natasha, Miranda, Thank you! I'm happy with Travola. I play every day.
I found out about the inclined nozzle when I received it. I was so happy with the discount that I grabbed it without much consideration.

[Larissa dopleta]

Well, I got to the butternut squash.

First, thanks a lot Larissa dopleta for the method of cleaning butternut squash with a tomato cleaner. I had OXO lying around in a drawer for a year for sure. So - she removed the outer hard layer of the pumpkin perfectly. Then I took off the white to get to the orange layer, with an ordinary cleaner (not a wavy-ribbed, but a straight blade). Old harvest pumpkin, that is worse you can't imagine more difficult work.



I tried to start spiraling immediately with the "angel hair" attachment, that is, 1 mm. It didn't work for me, because the angle was indirect. Then I remembered what I said Elena Accomplishment that if the angle is not straight, then this can significantly complicate the process. I put the 3 mm nozzle, overcame the "indirect" angle, changed the nozzle by 1 mm and everything went like clockwork.

Here is the report:



Coiling "angel hair" is an aesthetic pleasure

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, Sweeeeeta, and then what? What did you cook next? I don't have butternut squash, but suddenly I will!

My son brought me Bella yesterday! Excellent spiralizer, very satisfied!
First experiments (cabbage, peppers and radishes):

[Cvetaal]

Cvetaal, Svetlana, Congratulations! I'm very glad that you liked it too. Did you deliberately shred cabbage and pepper in short slices?

Excellent spiralizer

as I admire my own, too, everything is a spiral. Today spaghetti-katroshechka in a micron, and a "vinaigrette" of beets, carrots, zucchini in a micron steamed a little and with meat-kebab ...

Did you deliberately shred cabbage and pepper in short slices?

Larisochka, firstly, thanks for the link to this miracle, and secondly, the short slices turned out by themselves

Firstly, I’m not for the link, but for digging it up at all, and Svetiashka has already given a link to the European model, and secondly, I think you didn’t cut cabbage and peppers on a flat knife, but on a comb, right? Therefore, long spirals did not work out.

Lorik, and now I'll take Svetik "thank you". You're right, I cut on a comb)), I haven't tried a flat one yet. I also really liked the brush, it's so cool to clean the cutters.

[Cvetaal-Svetlana,]

My son brought me Bella yesterday!

Cvetaal-Svetlana, and I, of course, congratulations on such a purchase!
The car arrived safely to its new home!

[bangs]

bangs, Natasha, Thank you so much! Yes, I flew from London via Helsinki to Moscow

[Cvetaal]

What did you cook next? I don't have butternut squash, but suddenly I will!

Ilmirushka, I am not reporting yet, because I was making chicken in Chinese style with a sauce of black beans and garlic, green onions and bell peppers are also added there ... Well, I decided that the pumpkin is so hard, old, like, let me throw it in with pepper ... Well, I did not get it "by the teeth", as we love, but stew ... Next time I will cook it right and bring the recipe.

And I have vacuumized the angel's hair.

Cvetaal, Svetik, well, beautiful and clever Bellochka! Let the hostess please. Knowing your imagination and horizons in all cuisines of the world, we look forward to recipes !!!

To my great grief, my men did not buy spiral vegetables from micra. But I didn’t give up, now I’m on the verge of spiraling everything that is at hand, mixing it in a bowl with vegetable oil, spices and a little bit of soy sauce and frying it all on a contact grill. Here they are bursting! And I don't even want meat now, I gorge myself on vegetables alone

[Irlarsen]

Irlarsen, Irina, show me how it looks on the way out!

show me how it looks on the way out!

Are you sure you want to see it "on the way out"?

[Elena Tim]

Elena Tim, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa For about five minutes I stared at your message and did not understand the question

Elena Tim, dear, I sincerely congratulate you on your birthday! Thank you for being with us

Svetulechek, thank you, my dear!

Today I was going to stew potatoes with meat (like "in a pot" in layers: meat, onion, ground pepper, carrots and potatoes, pouring it with diluted kefir, but in a thick-walled saucepan) ...
And I passed the potatoes and carrots through a 4mm spiralizer (I didn't want to cut it with a knife).

Everything was stewed together for 40 minutes ...
Of course, the spirals from potatoes (and from carrots (it would have to be twisted 2 mm (as usual)) broke,
but it was more convenient to eat ... with a fork ...

[Elena Tim]

Elena Tim, happy Birthday! new culinary feats!

[Ketsal]

Ketsal, Olenka, thank you very much!

And the other day I again made "Tsvetaevsky Pie" from pears at the conference.

I baked in GFGril GFA-3500, so the form (detachable) was 18 cm in diameter, 6 cm high,
therefore the proportions had to be reduced ...

Spiral 2 conference pears, but then I had to coil 2 more pears,
as a result, there were almost 800 grams of pears!

By the way, half an hour later, when it was necessary to start for another 1 cycle of the "Baking" program,
I mixed the filling (so that it does not burn) and it would be possible to sprinkle more pears,
but ended (filling, baking, fell out).

Seduced ..
So I sit and choose.
What?
Gemlux, Travola or handmade from the Chinese? Give a link to the Chinese, please

[OlgaGera]

OlgaGera, Lelka, so I really liked the Travolka, it turned out that there is an inclined attachment, which makes it possible to cut not only in spirals, but also in pieces of spirals and slices.
But there are only two nozzles, 3mm and flat. Despite this, the spirals suit me completely and a different size is not required, and carrots are even better than mechanical cuts, mechanics do not always cut through, especially dry vegetables.
Having tried Travola and mechanical, I often use Travola. I left the mechanics under the cabbage and something else overall.
I bought a mechanical one from the Chinese, but it is no longer there, so I do not offer a link.

Yeah .. I see.
They'll kick me out of the house ...

[OlgaGera]

Seduced ..
So I sit and choose.

OlgaGera, Lelka, so we tried hard!
And about the fact that

kicked out of the house ...

do not believe! Recently my husband was stolen for barbecue here, but on the street there is Dubarishcha! He says: well, fry in your pan! I ask: which one? He was so confused: I think of them, or what? Fried in some kind and it was delicious!
There it is!

On the question of choosing an electrician or mechanic. I consulted, I thought ... As a result, I play around with the electric SilverCrest every day. The choice was determined by the price. In connection with myself, I can say for sure - I would use mechanical, but on the occasion. Of the 3 nozzles (3.5.9 mm), 5mm is most in demand, especially for subsequent cooking. The separate storage space for the attachments turned out to be very convenient.
I liked the device very, very much. Now I look towards mechanical at a reasonable price exclusively for my favorite celery.
For me the spiralizer turned out to be a device from the series "where have you been before ...".
Thank you all once again for the experience, little secrets, developments that you share so generously !!!

I liked the device very, very much.

For me the spiralizer turned out to be a device from the series "where have you been before ...".

Exactly, and I have from the same series, as well as "how long I have been looking for you."
And by the way, my congratulations: rose: happy purchase!

And by the way, congratulations on your successful purchase!

Thank you very much!!!

No, at least choose on matches ...
Yeah, I love celery too. But only me. The husband can not stand the spirit. I also respect parsnips

do not believe!

)))) I have recaptured a second kitchen in my new house, really small. I will close the key

It all depends on what you are going to spiral. If most of the products are of the "correct" shape (zucchini, cucumber, small fruits, celery root, radish, etc.), then only Hemlux. If you are going to spiral vegetables large in diameter - then horizontal.
