Anyone born before the 2000s remembers how the country was fascinated with Korean-style carrots. On every corner they sold carrots themselves, and seasonings for them, and graters of colorful colors, allowing you to shred this root vegetable. The snack is truly outstanding , if everything is prepared correctly. This recipe for Korean-style zucchini is similar to the recipe for Korean-style carrots, but it is much easier - zucchini does not have such a strong character as carrots, their taste is quieter and more neutral. And, what is most remarkable , for the recipe you will need the same famous grater - the era of time and a truly useful gadget.
