Preparation
Step 1
Wash the eggplants, cut off both ends, and slice them (with skin) into medium-thick strips. Sprinkle with salt, mix, and let sit.
Step 2
Peel and wash the carrots, then slice them thinly or grate them on a Korean-style grater. Pour boiling water over the shredded carrots for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and cut into long thin strips.
Step 4
Peel the onion and slice it into thin half rings. Combine the carrots, peppers, and onions together.
Step 5
Press the garlic cloves and add them to the vegetables. Season with salt to taste, coriander, ground black pepper, and sugar. Mix well to coat the vegetables with spices.
Step 6
Heat some oil in a skillet and fry the previously rinsed eggplants until lightly golden.
Step 7
Transfer the eggplants to a bowl, add the other vegetables, and pour in the vinegar. Mix well, cover, and let marinate for 4-5 hours.
Step 8
Taste the salad and add more salt if needed.
Step 9
Pack the salad into sterilized jars and sterilize in a pot of boiling water for 20 minutes (from the moment the water starts boiling). To sterilize properly, place a towel on the bottom of the pot, set the jars, pour hot water up to their shoulders, and bring to a boil. 0.5 L jars: 15 minutes 0.7 L jars: 20-25 minutes 1 L jars: 40-60 minutes You can place a small weight on top to prevent jars from moving while boiling.
Step 10
After sterilization, seal the jars tightly, flip them upside down, wrap them in a blanket, and let cool completely.
