Using a cheese knife, cut the cucumbers.
We clean the carrots and remove the husks from the garlic cloves.
Using a Korean grater, grate the carrots into strips.
Prepare the spices according to the recipe.
Place carrots and cucumbers in a deep bowl. Combine aromatic spices for the marinade with vegetables. Place the bowl of vegetables in the refrigerator for a day.
After a day, mix the vegetables thoroughly. We fill the sterilized jars with already pickled vegetables. We fill each jar with the released juice. Place a napkin on the bottom of the pan and place the jars. Fill the jars up to the shoulders with water. From the moment of boiling, sterilize for no more than 15 minutes.
Korean appetizer in a sweet and sour spicy marinade is ready. Roll up the lids, turn them over and wrap them well with a blanket until cool.
The cucumbers that did not fit in the jars have already been marinated and can be served to the table as a salad.
The amount of spices for the marinade can be adjusted to individual taste!
