Cooking the main filling
Before making rolls of pita bread, you should prepare the filling on a separate plate (on one standard sheet of pita bread):
- Boil one hard boiled egg, then cool it. Protein and yolk, peeled, chopped finely with a knife or grated on a coarse grater. Pour into a bowl.
- Grate soft or semi-hard cheese on a fine grater. If you bought processed cheese, then chop with a knife. Send to the plate to the egg.
- Pour about 50-60 grams of Korean carrots into a bowl of cheese and egg. Mix well. It is recommended to chop the carrots a little if the straw is very long.

The recipe for pita roll with Korean carrots is quite simple, if all the ingredients are already purchased and pre-chopped. In this case, you just need to connect them in one container and stir. But if you want everything to be as natural and useful as possible, you will have to devote an additional several hours to cooking. Let's look at how you can cook Korean carrots, mayonnaise and pita bread yourself.
Korean carrot
Choose a thick, but not very long carrot, take a special Korean carrot grater (if it is not, then thinly cut into strips) and grate it in a separate container. For one roll of pita bread it is enough to grate about 50-60 grams of raw vegetable. Then sweeten ½ teaspoon of sugar and sea salt (on the tip of a teaspoon). Add 9% vinegar (1 teaspoon) at the very end. Next, stir the resulting mixture by hand. Put the carrots in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
For pita bread roll with Korean carrot, it is not necessary to make a popular filling of mushrooms, squid or soy meat, just an orange vegetable is enough. After 20 minutes, remove the carrots from the refrigerator. Use red and black ground pepper (¼ teaspoon each), stir. At the end, vegetable oil (3 teaspoons) is added, and again everything is mixed. Let the finished salad stand in the refrigerator for another 2-3 hours.
Home-made mayonnaise
If you have a mixer or a hand blender, the cooking process will go much faster. Take one raw egg, vegetable oil (or milk) with a volume of about 100 ml, optionally you can add a little mustard powder, salt and sugar. Combine all the ingredients in a blender bowl and beat at maximum speed until thickened. It is very important that the yolk falls into the bottom of the bowl when broken.
Thick mayonnaise can be used almost immediately for pita roll with Korean carrots.
Thin pita bread
To make thin pita bread yourself, you need to take the necessary amount of flour (about 100-150 grams), a little hot water (so that the flour turns into a semi-thick gruel) and a little salt. All this is mixed up. Then hands make a batch of dough. When it is ready, it should be put in a container, covered with a towel. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Then, using a rolling pin, slices of dough are rolled out in a thin layer and fried in a pan on both sides (1 minute on each side). The frying process is similar to baking pancakes, only without greasing the pan with oil.
Ready cakes should be sprinkled from the spray bottle and cover the stack with a towel. In this case, roll of pita bread, cheese, Korean carrots is recommended to be done immediately so that the prepared cakes do not dry out.
Pita bread should be put on a flat surface, then the filling is superimposed with a spoon. It should be evenly distributed over the surface. Then roll is done.
Additional filling
Now consider what happens with additional filling. It all depends on what you and your loved ones, guests like. You can cook one roll with chicken, another with garlic, and the third mixed.
It does not make sense to consider each recipe for pita roll with Korean carrots separately, as you can add anything to the container with eggs, carrots, cheese and mayonnaise. Only cooking options may vary.
For example, if the chicken fillet is raw, it should be boiled, then chopped. And only after that add to the main filling. Smoked sausage, ham or sausages are finely chopped with a knife and also added to the egg, cheese and Korean carrots.
As for garlic, you need to choose 1-2 small cloves (if desired, more), peel, grind in the garlic and add to the mixture.
Simple and tasteful
It is not recommended to add all of the above additional ingredients in one roll so as not to spoil the taste. It is advisable, for example, to make a separate roll of pita bread: Korean carrot, chicken, egg, cheese.
Remember that the compatibility of the ingredients must be respected, and the appetizer must have an exquisite taste from harmoniously combined products.
You can use it as just a separate food, but you can also with tea, compote, juice.
Recommendations for hostesses
So that the roll is well saturated, it is advisable to send the finished product to the refrigerator for several hours. With prolonged storage, it can deteriorate so that this does not happen, after a meal, the rest should be removed in a cold place. It is recommended to eat no more than a couple of days, and ideally - in one sitting shortly after cooking.
