Ingredients:

• 4 large carrots, shredded
• 1 tsp cayenne
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 1/3 cup heated olive oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Carrots:
• Peel and wash the carrots thoroughly. Then, shred them using a grater or a food processor.
2. Seasoning:
• In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, cayenne, paprika, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well until the carrots are evenly coated with the spices.
3. Adding Vinegar:
• Pour the vinegar over the seasoned carrots. Toss the mixture to ensure that the carrots are evenly coated with the vinegar.
4. Heating Olive Oil:
• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat until it’s warm but not smoking. Heating the oil helps to infuse the flavors into the carrots.
5. Adding Heated Olive Oil:
• Carefully pour the heated olive oil over the carrot mixture. This helps to enhance the flavor and aids in the fermentation process.
6. Mixing:
• Gently toss the carrot mixture until the oil is evenly distributed.
7. Fermentation:
• Transfer the carrot kimchi into a clean, sterilized jar or airtight container. Press down the mixture to remove any air bubbles and ensure the carrots are submerged in the liquid.
• Close the jar or container tightly and let it ferment at room temperature for about 1 to 2 days. During this time, the flavors will develop and intensify.
8. Storage:
• After fermenting, you can store the carrot kimchi in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process and preserve its freshness. It will continue to develop flavor over time.
9. Serving:
• Enjoy your homemade carrot kimchi as a delicious side dish or condiment with rice, noodles, or any of your favorite meals.
10. Note:
• Remember to use clean utensils and containers throughout the process to prevent contamination and spoilage. Additionally, feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
