Korean-style tomatoes for the winter - general cooking principles
Recipes harvesting tomatoes in Korean for the winter differ in different proportions of ingredients, a set of additional vegetables, the degree of ripeness of tomatoes, but all, as a rule, contain the following set of products:
- tomatoes (ripe or green);
- vinegar (sometimes it is replaced with citric acid);
- vegetable oil;
- vegetables (bell peppers, eggplants, carrots, onions - depending on the recipe);
- sugar;
- spices and spices (garlic, horseradish, red pepper, fresh chilli in the pod, black pepper (or peas, or ground) - depending on the recipe);
- salt;
- greens.
Cooking steps
Since we prepare the dish for winter storage, before proceeding to the processing of vegetables, banks should be sterilized, in which Korean-style tomatoes will be stored for the winter. There are many ways of preparing cans for preservation: the banks are sterilized in a microwave, in a double boiler or a slow cooker, in an oven, or by steam over a saucepan or bowl. Our grandmothers used the last one: we securely fasten an iron sieve to a saucepan or a bowl of boiling water, put the jar upside down on top of the jar. The can is prepared when the condensed steam begins to drip down the walls. Sterilization time - 7-10 minutes for one-liter cans and about 15 minutes for three-liter. We clean the vegetables, wash them, remove the seeds (unless otherwise indicated in the recipe), cut the stalks. Tomatoes are cut into pieces or cut into rings. The rest of the vegetables are ground in accordance with the recipe: grate, chop in a blender or puree.
Cooking marinade, which is based on vinegar, sugar, spices and salt, oil, as a rule, is used at the same stage. Sometimes well chopped vegetables and greens are added to the marinade. In some recipes, brine is used instead of marinade: salt is added to boiling water.
Pour oil into prepared cans according to general principles, put a layer of sliced tomatoes, then add a layer of other vegetables from the recipe, sprinkle with greens, pour marinade. Repeat this sequence of actions to fill the banks. If brine is used in the recipe, then at this stage boiling brine is poured into jars filled with semi-finished product.
We fill the jar filled with vegetables with sterilization (boil it in a saucepan with water) for 15-60 minutes. Time depends on the recipe and the size of the jar. Then we cover the jar with the blank with a lid prepared for preservation and close tightly. If hot pickle is used in the recipe, skip this item.
Banks make up the bottom, wrapped tightly and do not touch until completely cooled.
