Spicy Beetroot

Spicy beetroot is a vibrant dish of Korean cuisine with a rich flavor and crunchy texture. Its roots trace back to traditional Korean snacks known for their juiciness and balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. In this recipe, the beetroot is lightly fried in vegetable oil for softness and then marinated with salt, sugar, vinegar, and garlic to reveal depth of flavor. This preparation method gives the beetroot spiciness and a slight tanginess that perfectly complements meat and vegetable dishes. After sitting in the cold, it absorbs aromas and becomes even more pronounced. This dish works well as both a side dish and a standalone snack that brightens any table.
