Recipe

Wash 1kg of carrots clean and cut them into long julienne strips of even thickness.
In a bowl, combine 1 pack of kkakdugi seasoning, 30g gochugaru, 1 tbsp sugar, and 3 tbsp cooking oil; mix well.
Put the mixed seasoning in the microwave and heat in 1-minute intervals for a total of 3 times (total 3 minutes) to bloom the gochugaru and infuse the oil with flavor.
While the heated seasoning is still hot, pour it over the julienned carrots.
Gently squeeze and toss the carrots with your hands until the seasoning is evenly coated and the carrots have slightly wilted from the heat.
Finish by sprinkling whole sesame seeds, then let it sit for 20–30 minutes (rather than eating immediately) so the seasoning permeates the carrots, resulting in a soft yet crunchy texture.

Finely julienne the carrots and set aside.
Mix kkakdugi seasoning, gochugaru, sugar, and cooking oil, then microwave in 1-minute intervals for 3 times.
Add the carrots to the warm seasoning, toss until wilted, and finish with whole sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

If you microwave the seasoning for too long at once, the gochugaru can burn easily, so be sure to heat it in 1-minute bursts, checking each time; this way the surface of the gochugaru will be lightly cooked like soboro, making it more delicious.
Right after mixing, it may taste a bit salty, but moisture will come out of the carrots and balance the seasoning, so it's best to follow the given amounts.

Recommended for

Those who want to try a different vegetable side dish besides daily cabbage kimchi or radish kimchi.
Those who want to quickly complete a crunchy textured side dish without a salting process.
