Morkovcha
Korean-style carrots (Russian: морковь по-корейски, romanized: morkov' po-koreyski; Korean: 한국식 당근) or Korean carrot salad (Uzbek: koreyscha sabzili salat), is a spicy marinated carrot salad. It is a Koryo-saram variant of kimchi.[1][2][3]
History

Koryo-saram (ethnic Koreans located in post-Soviet countries) created the dish as they did not have supplies of Baechu cabbage, the main ingredient in traditional kimchi. In Central Asia, where many Koryo-saram have lived since the deportation of 1937, the salad is also named morkovcha, which is a combination of Russian morkov ("carrot") and Uzbek diminutive suffix -cha. The salad was unknown in South Korea until recently. However, it has gained an international following, being served in most cafeterias throughout post-Soviet countries, sold in many supermarkets, and featured regularly as an appetizer (zakuska) and a side dish on dinner tables and in holiday feasts set by all ethnicities of the former Soviet Union.[1][2]
Ingredients
The typical ingredients are finely julienned carrots, garlic, onion[4], ground red pepper, ground coriander seeds, vinegar, vegetable oil, salt and pepper. It may also include sesame seeds.[1]
