In recent years, national Korean cuisine has been very popular in Russia. True, for cooking some dishes, cooks sometimes lack certain specific components. This defect can be easily corrected if an original Chim-Chim gas station is available. Korean food, as a rule, is particularly spicy and contains a large number of spices, and a new seasoning easily solves these problems.
The secrets of taste
In order to cook, for example, a real Korean salad at home, it’s not enough to choose the necessary components and grind them correctly. The secret of such dishes lies in their original taste. For this, the hostess may need products that are not so easy to find in domestic stores. An ideal way out of this situation is the Chim-Chim gas station.
Korean food only at first glance seems simple and unpretentious. In fact, its preparation requires strict adherence to the recipes and proportions.
What is a Korean Chim-Chim gas station? This is something like a sauce, which includes several essential ingredients:
- vegetable oil (sunflower);
- garlic;
- sweetener (saccharin);
- coriander;
- sugar;
- salt;
- Red pepper;
- acidity regulator in the form of citric or acetic acid;
- flavoring;
- monosodium glutamate;
- tocopherol (natural antioxidant).
Each type of product (fish, meat, vegetables, pasta) has its own special “Chim-Chim” dressing. For centuries, Korean cuisine has created flavors that must match one or another main ingredient. Today, any housewife just needs to take the right bag and add its contents to the crushed products. Thus, in just a few minutes you can cook almost any Korean national dish.
Korean carrots
Nowadays, everyone knows the side dish called "Korean carrot." It serves as a spectacular addition to many dishes in modern cafes and restaurants. To prepare such a product yourself, it will take a lot of time and effort. In addition, you will need a whole set of necessary components to achieve the desired taste and aroma. But this can be done much easier if you have Chim-Chim at hand - a Korean carrot dressing.
This sauce, prepared on the basis of sunflower oil, contains almost everything you need for work. The hostess can only purchase the main products:
- 1 kilogram of carrots;
- 170 grams of vegetable oil;
- 50 grams of onion.
Then everything is done quite simply:
- First you need to peel the carrots and grind it on a special grater. In principle, it can also be chopped with a regular thin straw.
- Then cut the onion into cubes and fry until golden in hot oil.
- Combine both products, add the contents of one bag of dressing to them and mix well.
After that, the finished salad should be at least an hour in the refrigerator so that all the components can soak well.
Cabbage salad
Koreans are very proud of their original recipes for vegetable salads. Culinary experts from all over the world recognize their wonderful aroma and completely unique taste. Even ordinary cabbage after the hands of a Korean cook becomes a real work of art.
Recently, the demand for these products has increased significantly. But it is much easier for Russian housewives to deal with such a problem. To help everyone, for example, CJSC Virteks, located in the city of Berdsk, Novosibirsk Region, has launched the production of special mixtures, among which there is Chim-Chim (Korean dressing for cabbage).
To make a delicious salad, just prepare first:
- 400 grams of white cabbage;
- some green dill;
- 200 grams of fresh vegetables (carrots, cucumbers and sweet peppers).
Once all the components are assembled, you can start cooking:
- Chop all the vegetables into strips and put them in a deep container.
- Add chopped greens, dressing from the bag and mix thoroughly.
In just an hour, the finished salad can be served at the table. It is usually used as an independent dish or as a juicy side dish.
