Steps:
- Grate the carrots on a fine julienne grater.
- Slice the onions into half circles. Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the onions. Season with salt to taste. Cook on medium low heat for 7-10 minutes, until the onions are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, season the carrots with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add the sugar, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper and mix to combine.
- Finely mince or press the garlic cloves through a garlic press and place in the bottom of a large bowl. When the onions are cooked, strain the onions through a fine mesh sieve, pouring the hot oil right over the garlic. You can choose to strain out the garlic as well or even add the garlic to the onions during the last 30 seconds of cooking if you want the garlic to have a much more mild flavor in the salad. The other option is to add in the garlic along with the oil to the carrot salad, mixing all the ingredients to combine. The cooked onions will not be used in the salad. Add them to other recipes.
- Store the carrot salad in the refrigerator. You can serve the salad right away, but for the best results, marinate the salad in the refrigerator at least for a few hours or overnight before serving.
- Mix to combine again before serving the salad. Garnish with fresh herbs.
- Store the salad in the refrigerator for up to a week.
RUSSIAN CARROT SALAD (KOREAN-STYLE)
Russians call it 'Korean Carrot Salad,' but it is so absolutely ubiquitous in Russia that if they didn't originally own it, they certainly do now. Coriander provides primary flavor; cayenne provides the heat. To get it right, you MUST use a mandoline to julienne the carrots into long, thin strands like spaghetti. To save time, buy them already julienned at the grocery store. This dish is best after it has marinated for 24 hours, but is fine after only 4 or 5 hours.

RUSSIAN-KOREAN CARROT SALAD
This spiced carrot salad is called "Korean carrots" throughout Russia and the former Soviet republics - I have no idea if it actually is Korean, though! I got the recipe from a friend who lived in Russia for a few years and came back with a number of mouthwatering recipes.

Steps:
- Wash and peel carrots.
- Slice into long, thin, square strips. Hint: you will need a vegetable slicer NOT grater for this job. I bought mine at a local Asian food store.
- For dressing: In separate bowl, mix oil, vinegar, salt, black pepper, red pepper and coriander.
- Pour dressing over carrots, mix well.
- Adjust the spices to taste. Reduce the red pepper for a milder version.
Tips:
- Use a sharp grater or food processor to shred the carrots. This will ensure that the carrots are evenly shredded and will cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the carrots. They should still be slightly crunchy when you eat them.
- Be generous with the garlic and ginger. They add a lot of flavor to the salad.
- Use a good quality soy sauce. This will make a big difference in the taste of the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It's delicious either way!
