Korean Seaweed Salad .
To surprise our guests with Korean salad, we need one package of dried seaweed, carrots, onions, a few cloves of garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar and vinegar. Instead of dried seaweed, canned can be used. Pour dried cabbage with boiling water and leave to steam until it reaches an elastic state. At this time, peel the remaining vegetables from the peel.
Pass the carrots through a Korean grater or cut into very thin straws. We also cut the onion into strips. Pass the garlic through the press. Mix all the components of the salad in a deep bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the sauce. To do this, we combine the same proportions of sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce. Mix everything thoroughly and fill the salad with this mixture. Be sure to leave the finished dish for a few hours soak in the sauce. It is best to cook such a salad in advance, in the evening.

Cut into a slightly dried loaf into cubes and fry in vegetable oil. We put ready crackers on a napkin to get rid of excess oil. Peking cabbage is freed from several upper leaves and cut the rest of it into thin strips. In a pre-prepared deep salad bowl we put cabbage chips. Wet onions in boiling water, remove the husks and finely chop. Sprinkle the onion chips with vinegar, hold for five minutes, and then remove the excess juice. Put in a salad bowl, on top of cabbage.
