Korean Carrot Salad

  1. Here is a true test of your knifing skills. The goal is to slice carrots into thin long strips. No one except Japanese chefs can do that; ordinary people like me use julienne cutter. So, using a tool or your incredible knifing skills, cut carrots into thin long strips. Sprinkle some salt, stir, make a "hill" out of carrots and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heap all the spices and garlic at the top of the carrot hill.
  3. Slice onion as thin as possible. Heat the oil in a skillet, add onions. Cook for a minute, not longer, until oil is boiling.
  4. Carefully pour the oil over the spices. Toss onions with the carrots, add vinegar, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Toss everything together well, don't mash. Let cool and put in a fridge for 1-2 hours at least.
