Homemade Korean-Style Carrots

Description

A tasty appetizer for any gathering. If you make Korean-style carrots, you can adjust their spiciness and rich flavor. Store the carrots in the refrigerator in a container with a tightly sealed lid, otherwise their aroma will spread throughout the entire refrigerator. I specifically use olive oil—it tastes much better with it. It is very easy to make.
