Zucchini differ from zucchini not only in a more elongated shape and a dark green color of the peel, but also in taste - it is more pronounced, slightly sweet, and vaguely resembling the taste of a pumpkin. Preparations for the winter from zucchini are almost the same as from zucchini, but gourmets are able to catch the difference in the organoleptic qualities of these dishes. Despite the fact that the recipes for canning these vegetables are similar, they are not completely identical. If you try to prepare zucchini for the winter in Korean, you will almost certainly notice this difference, since in these snacks their taste is revealed very well.
Cooking Features
The process of cooking zucchini snacks in Korean for the winter is simple, especially if you choose a recipe without sterilization. However, without knowing some subtleties, the result may not meet the expectations.
- Zucchini never grow as large as zucchini, but this does not mean that, when overripe, they remain as tender as the young ones. Inside they may come across large seeds, the skin may be excessively dense. If you notice that the zucchini fruits are overripe, it is better to spend time on removing the pulp with large seeds and coarse skin than to spoil the snack.
- You can grind zucchini to cook Korean snacks for the winter in different ways. Usually they are cut into strips or rubbed on a special grater, but sometimes they are cut into circles, semicircles, bars, or even cubes. Other vegetables that make up the salad are most often ground in the same way as the main ingredient.
- The unique flavor of Korean snacks is given by a special bouquet of spices. It includes garlic, red and black pepper, coriander. Sometimes it can be included in nutmeg, turmeric, cloves. If you are familiar with Korean cuisine, you can choose the seasonings yourself, adding them to the salad in any ratio. In the absence of culinary experience, it is advisable to use the recommendations accompanying the selected recipe, or use a ready-made set of seasonings from the supermarket.
- Banks for zucchini in Korean should not only be washed well, but also be sterilized, otherwise the snack will quickly deteriorate. The lids are also sterilized, usually by boiling. Plastic lids snacks can be closed only if it will be stored exclusively in the refrigerator and not more than 2 months. For storage indoors canned food is closed with metal lids, ensuring tightness.
