Korean-Style Carrots Without Vinegar
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Korean-style carrots with lemon juice turn out more flavorful and original; their taste is milder than in the vinegar version—I would even say richer, since a subtle citrus note appears here. Be sure to try this version. Serve the appetizer at the table.
