Kuksi dish recipe. Korean cuisine recipes: kimchi, kuksi, carrots, pigodi, etc. Korean eggplant salad

Kuksi is a traditional Korean dish. The name of the dish comes from the Korean word "Kuksu", transformed by the Soviet Koreans into "kuksi", meaning noodles, as well as a soup made with noodles.

In addition to noodles, the dish also includes savory broth, pieces of meat and a large number of vegetables.

To prepare Korean kuksi soup, prepare the ingredients. At first glance, it may seem that there are a lot of them, but all components can be divided into 3 groups - vegetable additives, broth and noodles.

Boil 3 liters of water for the broth and leave to cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Cut the pork into small pieces - strips. Chop half an onion.

Fry the meat in a small amount of vegetable oil until the meat turns white and releases the juice. Then add the chopped onion and simmer everything together for a few more minutes until done. Turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.

You can also use beef to prepare kuksi, but in this case the cooking time will increase. If 15–20 minutes is enough to cook pork, then beef needs to be simmered for at least 30–40 minutes.

Prepare the ingredients for the broth. Grate 1 cucumber and 2-3 tomatoes. Chop fresh herbs.

Add grated vegetables, salt 1-2 tbsp, sugar 1-2 tbsp, soy sauce 3-4 tbsp, vinegar 1-2 tbsp to cooled boiled water. Mix thoroughly, taste the broth and add more seasonings and spices if necessary. Add chopped herbs and, if desired, sesame seeds.

Place the finished broth in the refrigerator for further cooling and infusion.

Grate the carrots or cut into thin cubes. Add 0.5 tsp. salt, 0.5 tsp. sugar, 0.5 tsp. vinegar, ground coriander, and black pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

Fry 1 onion in a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add fried onions and 1-2 minced garlic cloves to the carrots. Stir, if necessary, add spices to taste.

Thinly slice the cabbage. Add 0.5 tsp. salt, 0.5 tsp sugar, red pepper to taste, 0.5 tsp. vinegar and 1 tbsp. vegetable oil. Mix, taste and add spices if necessary.

Cut the cucumbers into small slices. Chop and add 1 onion and 1-2 cloves of garlic to the cucumbers. Add 0.5 tbsp. vinegar and 1 tbsp. vegetable oil, salt, ground black pepper to taste. Stir.

Lightly beat the eggs. Add a pinch of salt.

Pouring the beaten egg in portions into a frying pan greased with vegetable oil, fry the resulting egg pancakes for several minutes on both sides until cooked.

Roll the finished egg pancakes into a roll, transfer to a board and cool. Cut the cooled egg rolls into thin strips.

Boil the noodles until tender according to package instructions. Drain the water and rinse the noodles with cold water. I used wheat udon noodles, but you can also use regular thin spaghetti.

All components of the dish are ready and you can start assembling. Place a portion of noodles on a plate.

Add cooled broth.

Place cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, pieces of meat and omelet in portions on top.

Korean kuksi is ready and ready to serve.

Today I found a recipe on the Kazakhstan website "Center of Gravity" KUKSI (Korean HOT soup) from the author

Girls, I finally cooked some cookies!

Then off we went.
Part 1.

First, let's marinate the meat.
To do this, cut it into thin strips (like French fries):

Then add chopped garlic, half a teaspoon of sugar, green onions and soy sauce to the meat (not too much, but not too little, so that all the meat is immersed in the sauce):

Now press it on top with a plate and leave for at least 30-40 minutes so that the meat has time to marinate:

After 30-40 minutes (or more), fry our meat in a cauldron with onions and cabbage:

Thanks to the marinade, we no longer need to add any spices, including salt.

Part 2.

Let's start preparing salads (chemi).
Thinly slice the cabbage. It is advisable that the bars be 2-3mm wide.
For convenience, turn the cabbage “on its back” and begin slicing with a sharp knife:

We also cut the cucumbers as thinly as possible. It is desirable that they be transparent (thickness 1-2mm):

Now we salt and mash both salads so that the juice appears. Leave for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, squeeze the vegetables from the juice and begin to season.
Add: finely chopped cilantro (1 bunch per kilogram), black pepper, garlic, vinegar (about 2 tablespoons), red pepper...

In a cauldron, fry the onions in a large amount of sunflower oil (two medium onions per salad). Bring the onion to transparency and add it together with the oil to the salad dressing, pouring the hot oil directly onto the red pepper:

Mix everything thoroughly. Add a little soy sauce to the cucumber salad. Everything else is the same.

Part 3.

Preparing the egg roll.
Everything is simple here. Beat 4-5 eggs with salt.

Fry in batches in a frying pan, like pancakes:

Roll the pancakes into rolls and cut:

We can also cut the tomatoes into cubes.

Part 4.

As for soy sauce, it should be Korean; obok brand sauce is ideal. You can also find Korean durum wheat noodles for Kuk-si here:

So, boil the special noodles, rinse them in cold water and immediately divide them into portions:

Place in a deep bowl and fill with hot beef broth:

Or you can prepare a cold version of the broth (boiled water, soy sauce, vinegar, tomatoes, salt)

Then add the prepared meat, chemi, roll and tomatoes:

And Bon Appetit!

Be sure to prepare it. Believe me, it is very tasty and your time will not be wasted. Plus there are a lot of useful things!

Sina, thanks for the recipe!
If I cook a cold dish, should I cool it separately or mix everything and then cool it?

Then no meat broth is used?


Meat broth is only for the hot version. I usually put the meat left over from the broth in the refrigerator and, on occasion, fry it with potatoes, which is also delicious.
And in general, I like it when there is already boiled broth in the refrigerator; you can whip up any soup.
And for the cold version of kuk-si you will need boiled water, soy sauce, vinegar, tomatoes and salt to taste.
But we like it hot more

  • cucumbers - 500-600 g;
  • tomatoes (I had 6 medium shuk) - 1 kg;
  • sweet pepper - 300 g;
  • onions - 4 pcs;

  • soy sauce;

Kuksu recipe

Well, let's start with some water "Kuksi-Muri". Composition per 1 liter of water, can be increased if desired. Add 0.5 tbsp of salt and 2 tbsp of soy sauce to the water, stir until completely dissolved. Then 3-4 tbsp of sugar and half a tbsp of vinegar, stir well until the sugar dissolves. Finely chop half a tomato with dill and add to the water. You should get sweet and sour aromatic water. We send it to the refrigerator to wait in the wings. (For children, I pour it so that it remains at room temperature)

Cut the meat into strips, also sweet peppers (whole), onions (2 pcs) into half rings, tomatoes (1.5 pcs) into small slices. Pour vegetable oil into a cauldron or deep frying pan and place the meat there. When the meat has set well, add the onion, fry for about five minutes, and then add the tomatoes and peppers. Fry the vegetables over medium heat until the vegetables are cooked, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Finely chop the cabbage and add salt. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. Fry the onion (1 piece) with the tomato (1 piece) in vegetable oil, squeeze the cabbage well from the released juice and add to the frying. Keep it on medium heat until half cooked, so that it is “a little lively”. Season with ground cilantro, black pepper, garlic (3 teeth) passed through a press and half a bunch of finely chopped green dill.

Cut the cucumbers into half moons and add salt. Let it sit and drain off any juice that is released. (I collect the whole mass of cucumbers in a heap on one edge of the dish and scoop out the released juice with a spoon) Pour oil into a frying pan, heat well, remove from the stove and pour 1 teaspoon of hot red pepper and garlic (2 teeth) through a press into the hot oil. Pour this oil into our cucumbers, add ground cilantro, black pepper and half a bunch of green cilantro, mix.

I will repeat this point for those who like it spicy. If you don't like it, just skip it and move on!! Cut the semi-bitter pepper into rings 0.5 cm wide. Fry onions (1 piece) with tomatoes (3 pieces), add pepper and fry over medium heat until the pepper is ready. Season with salt, pepper, garlic (3 cloves passed through a press) and the remaining half of a bunch of green cilantro.

Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until smooth. We bake thin pancakes in a frying pan. (For the first pancake, I add a drop of butter) Stack them on top of each other (I got 5 pancakes, whoever gets more - Respect!!) Roll them into a roll. And cut into thin strips.

Cook the spaghetti in salted water. (Of course, special noodles for kuksi like “Mochenki” would be ideal, but there was no time to go to the market, so we made do with our manufacturer, the main thing is that it was thin and did not boil over). Rinse in cold water, roll into portions and leave to drain in a colander.

Well, finally this climax moment!!! We put one hank of noodles in a deep cup, fill it with kuksi-muri water, put a spoonful of each salad on top and you're done!!! Bon appetit!!!

In general, kuksi can be prepared from a variety of vegetables that you can find in your kitchen. In winter it can be kimchi or regular cabbage, radishes, cucumbers, eggs, peppers. In summer - radishes, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and plenty of greens.

We prepared this kuksi in winter, so we took:

  • 1 large radish;
  • Salted, washed peppers;
  • 3 eggs;
  • Kimchi cabbage;
  • Fillet (better to take pork or beef);
  • Spices – salt, garlic, black and red pepper, vinegar.

How to cook kuksi?

First of all, set the meat to boil, it will just cook while you prepare the rest of the ingredients - kuksi-chumi (salad dressings). Once the meat is cooked, cut it into strips.

Moreover, you can cook kuksi-chumi in any order convenient for you.

Grate the radish on a grater for Korean salads and to remove the bitterness from it, add salt and stir.

Let it sit, then rinse in water and squeeze thoroughly.

The dressing of radish is quite simple, by analogy with other Korean salads - salt (if necessary), ground black and red pepper, dry cilantro, garlic, vinegar and all this is poured with onions fried in hot oil.

When finished it looks like this.

Slice.

It needs to be fried with tomato paste and spices until cooked. For spices, I add black pepper and ground cilantro.

Wash the kimchi cabbage, squeeze and chop.

It needs to be fried in the same way as the pepper. I usually fry the cabbage immediately after the pepper in the same bowl, or before it. Season with black pepper and ground cilantro.

Beat the eggs, adding a pinch of salt and vegetable oil.

Whipped eggs should be fried like regular pancakes. Cut into strips.

That's it, kuksi-chumi (salad dressings) are ready! Now you can make kuksi-muri (broth).

It can be made from the broth in which the meat was cooked, or you can use plain water, which is what we did. It is kuksi-muri that gives everything kuksi its taste, so it is quite important that it turns out tasty.

Its taste is quite difficult to describe, but in general it should be salty-sour-sweet-tart.

For a liter of water you need:

  • 5 tablespoons of sugar;
  • 5 tablespoons of soy sauce;
  • 1 tablespoon salt;
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar;
  • Spices and herbs to taste.

Also, if you wish, you can add sesame oil, or sprinkle a portion of kuksi with sesame seeds.

Boil the noodles and Korean kuksi is ready!

The portion is assembled simply - put noodles in a cup, pour in kuksi-muri and lay out all the prepared ingredients (kuksi-chumi). It looks something like this.

This is how you can cook a Korean dish at home!

Cook with pleasure, and I, myself, a Happy Housewife, will delight you with new delicious and proven recipes!

Korean cuisine has gained wide popularity in Russia. The national dishes of this country are very spicy and piquant, stimulating the appetite. Korean chefs use familiar products for cooking, only supplemented with incredible fiery spices and fiery seasonings. This richness of food gives the dishes an unusual aroma and pleasant qualities.

Korean cuisine is in many ways similar to Japanese and Chinese.
It differs from others primarily in the abundant use of spices, herbs and seasonings, garlic, onions, peppers, ginger and sesame seeds, and sauces. Widely used, (aji-no-moto, mannegi, weijin, adinomoto) - a white crystalline powder that enhances and improves the taste of many dishes. Diluted in salted water, it tastes like a concentrated mixture of chicken and mushroom broth. It is this that gives a specific taste to national cuisine.

Koreans also widely use soy. Soy sauce is a ubiquitous Korean dish. Soy cheeses, pastes, milk, and cottage cheese usually replace animal products, and dairy products are practically not used.

The most popular vegetable dish in Korea can be called kimchi. Kimchi is salted and pickled cabbage, radish or other vegetables that are cooked with spices. They differ from each other in the set of components and salting methods; moreover, kimchi is prepared in different ways at different times of the year.

Another feature of Korean cuisine is the desire to exclude or sharply limit the combination of products that can adversely affect human health. For example, the abundance of spicy dishes here is softened by unleavened rice, which is a must in the meal. It protects the digestive organs from the aggressive effects of hot seasonings and acts as an adsorbent. Another example is tomatoes. They are eaten not with salt, but with sugar! It turns out that eating tomatoes with salt contributes to the deposition of salts.

Sugar Koreans add it to literally everything: meat, fish, vegetable dishes and even salads - they say to satisfy the body's need for glucose.

Another example of the rational diet of Koreans is the combination of meat and fish with vegetables and fruits. They never eat potatoes with meat, because this combination makes it difficult to digest food and contributes to obesity.

Many national dishes in Korea are considered not only preventative against certain diseases, but also curative.

GOOD TO KNOW: Monosodium glutamate(aji no moto, umami, weijing, weisu)

Monosodium glutamate is a white crystalline powder with a salty-sweet taste, slightly similar in appearance to salt or sugar and highly soluble in water. By itself, this substance has virtually no taste or odor, but enhances the taste of meat, poultry, seafood, mushrooms and some vegetables, without having any effect on fruits, sweets and eggs.

Japanese scientists isolated this substance from seaweed not so long ago - in the 20s of the last century - and gave their brainchild the quite logical name “aji no moto”, which translates as “root of taste”. Glutamate also has another Japanese name - umami, "essence of taste."

Today, the champions in the use of glutamate are the Chinese (they call glutamate “weijing” or “weisu”). An aqueous solution of powder with salt, slightly reminiscent of meat broth in taste and smell, is used as a seasoning for soups, vegetable and cereal dishes, cold appetizers and sauces.

In the mid-70s, scientific storms raged around monosodium glutamate - it was considered the cause of a number of diseases, there was even a theory that it was because of weijing in Chinese dishes that many Europeans could experience an allergic reaction, which was dubbed “Chinese restaurant syndrome” - slight dizziness, nausea, sweating, chills, headache. And yet, most of the charges against the unfortunate seasoning were dropped, declaring glutamate to be a completely safe food additive, leaving behind it the “Chinese restaurant syndrome” and the negative effect on asthmatics.

Many well-known ready-made seasonings contain monosodium glutamate (for example, “Vegeta” - Vegeta), in addition, it is widely used in the production of boiled sausages, canned meat, semi-finished products, salads, since it really enhances the natural taste of products.
Most Korean recipes, like Chinese ones, contain this additive.

Now to your attention the main recipes of Korean cuisine. We do not pretend to be unique, since the process of preparing each dish is a flight of the chef's imagination!

Next, add red hot pepper, coriander, sesame seeds (if we are using them) into a frying pan with heated oil (with or without onions) and let the spices warm up.

KIMCHHI

USEFUL TO KNOW: Just as the hallmark of national gastronomy in Russia is caviar, in France it is wine and cheeses, in Korea it is pickled vegetables kimchi. It is one of the most distinctive symbols that represents Korea and its culture better than others. This spicy snack is an integral part of any Korean menu.
WHAT IS KIMCHI USEFUL FOR? Well-fermented kimchi has antibiotic characteristics, since the lactic acid bacteria that appear during the fermentation process inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. These bacteria not only create the leaven, but also prevent over-fermentation by keeping other bacteria from growing in the intestines. Lactobacilli formed as a result of fermentation block the increase of harmful bacteria in the internal organs, stimulate the secretion of pepsin, a protein analysis enzyme in the stomach and intestines, helping digestion and normalizing the distribution of bacteria in the internal organs. Thus, kimchi suppresses the influence of harmful bacteria, reducing the acid level in the intestines like yogurt, and when kimchi ripens, the content of lactic acid bacteria increases. Kimchi is an alkaline supplier that protects against acidic toxins formed by oxidation of the blood when eating too much meat or acidic food at dinner. Kimchi is also considered an effective hangover cure. In addition, the lactic acid produced in kimchi is effective in preventing diseases such as obesity, diabetes, stomach and intestinal cancer. Kimchi protects against atherosclerosis by reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood.
Kimchi is an antioxidant and active components such as vitamin C, carotene, phenolic compounds, and chlorophyll, etc., suppress aging, especially of the skin. Chinese cabbage, which is used to make kimchi, has the ability to prevent colon cancer, and garlic protects against stomach cancer. Garlic is used in almost all types of dishes in Korea, and it is a very important ingredient in kimchi. Ground red pepper, The main component of kimchi, aids digestion by stimulating the secretion of gastric juices, and is an antioxidant with high amounts of vitamin A and C. Allicin, found in garlic, activates metabolism, helping the absorption of vitamin B. In addition, ginger increases appetite and stimulates blood circulation.
According to experts, there are more than 100 types of kimchi. In Korea, it is served even in Western or Chinese restaurants, and even in pizzerias. Kimchi is even added to pizza and hamburgers. Children begin to be given kimchi from about three years of age, by washing pieces of cabbage in water, which somewhat softens the spiciness of this dish, although even after this procedure it still remains very spicy.
In Korea itself, there is a huge kimchi industry, festivals of this dish are held, museums have been created, and a real cult of this truly national dish reigns.
Jeonju University has opened the only faculty in the world to teach the technology of producing this dish. Even during their studies, graduates are scouted by companies involved in the production of national products.
Every fall, Seoul housewives compete in the art of kimchi fermentation. It is believed that a good Korean wife should be able to cook up to 30 (!) varieties of kimchi. And as the Koreans themselves say, the skill of a chef is often determined by his ability to prepare this dish.

At this time, let's make the filling. The cabbage should be chopped very thin and mixed with finely chopped onions. Then mix the cabbage with onions with minced meat (pork + beef). Add spices, salt to taste and mix everything thoroughly. (you can add potatoes cut into small cubes)
We make balls from the dough and roll them out into flat cakes, like pies. Add the filling. Then we fasten all the edges and place them on the tiers of the pressure cooker, which should be greased with butter. When laying out the pygodi, you should leave a larger distance between them, because The dough is yeasty and will rise a little more.
Place the pressure cooker on the fire and cook for 45 - 50 minutes.

RECIPE 3

Ingredients: Filling: fat pork - 1.5 kg onions - 5 medium onions medium forks white cabbage coriander black pepper salt soy sauce - 2 tbsp Dough: wheat flour 5 cups milk 2 cups yeast 1 packet salt 2 tsp sugar 2 tbsp spoons

Cooking process:
First let's put the dough. Heat the milk to 40-50 degrees. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar and yeast in milk. Wait 15-20 minutes until a “cap” of foam appears on the milk.
In a large bowl, mix 5 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt and 4 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add milk with yeast, knead the dough (so as not to stick to your hands). Leave in a warm place (I put it on a pan of hot water) for about an hour. We are waiting for it to rise.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Finely chop the pork. Finely chop the onion and also finely chop the cabbage. Fry the onion until golden brown, add the meat and cabbage. Then add salt, pepper, coriander and a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce. Please note that the filling must be salty and well peppered! Simmer (without water!) for about 20 minutes - not until fully cooked, let cool.
In the meantime, our dough has managed to rise. Roll out fairly dense (not thin) “circles”. Place the filling on them and seal them as you like.
Place the pressure cooker (steamer) on maximum heat and add salt to the water for more active steam. Grease the grates with oil and place our pies loosely on them. Depending on the number of pigodi in the pressure cooker, cook them at maximum heat (without opening the lid) for 15 to 25 minutes.

P.S. These pies can be frozen, but their peculiarity is that they must first be cooked and ready to go into the freezer.

KOREAN EGGPLANT SALAD

KUKSI (KUKSU)

It’s a very labor-intensive process of preparing the dish, but it’s so tasty that it’s worth trying at least once.

Main ingredients:
Beef, Eggplant, Bell pepper, Dungan pepper, Cabbage, Sesame, Noodles, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Vegetable oil, Onions, Soy sauce, Vinegar, Garlic, Chicken eggs

Part 1 Cooking muri

Firstly, before you start cooking, you should already have high-quality ice water available. Take it out of the refrigerator. We will now prepare the main part of kuksi - muri.

Muri:
Boiled chilled water; Soy sauce; Table vinegar; Cucumbers; Tomatoes; Salt; Sugar

Take a two-liter glass jar and pour in water. Not completely. Leave a place.
Cut a couple of cucumbers and one small tomato into halves. Chop the halves into thin slices. So thin that they show through. Transfer it to a jar.
Now take the soy sauce. It comes in varying degrees of concentration. Therefore, I won’t tell you how much sauce you need. The same goes for vinegar and salt. Let's learn to taste it.
Add by tablespoons. A couple of spoons is for sure, and then we’ll try. The water should have a strong soy sauce flavor, but the soy should not overwhelm everything.
- Few? Add more. Let me try! That's right, it's worth pouring in another one. So, with this particular sauce, you settled on four tablespoons.
Now salt. Keep in mind that soy sauce already contains salt. Start with two teaspoons. Stir. Try it! It seems not enough - add another half teaspoon. Three was enough for you. And dad will say it’s unsalted. Don’t worry, we’ll serve soy sauce with the kuksi; whoever needs it will add it himself and add more salt.
Now a teaspoon of sugar, stir again.
Take the vinegar and pour it into a tablespoon. Use an incomplete spoon, it’s safer. Pour into a jar. Stir. Try. It should be slightly sour. No? Add another half tablespoon. Try it. How? Let me try. Fine!
Close the jar with a lid and put it in the refrigerator.
This ratio of components, which we determined by taste, is very individual. That is why the finished kuksi is served separately with soy sauce and vinegar, as well as the spicy seasoning achchik. So it's okay if your muri turns out to be somewhat neutral. The main thing is not to overdo it. If you overdo it, you will have to take a larger jar and level the salt-soy-vinegar by adding water. So we'll fix everything.

Ingredient 1 - Cabbage Dressing
Onion; Meat;Black pepper;Achik; Cabbage; Garlic;Salt

Now let's get down to preparing the dressings - Chumi. We prepare all the components for each dressing immediately.
Here is everything you need for cabbage dressing. Start with cabbage. Chop the cabbage into thin strips. Take a large Kazakh knife with a wide blade - it’s convenient for chopping. Do not rush. Cut carefully. Let it be slow. You and I are in no hurry. Turn the cabbage fragment so that it has shorter edges during shredding. Wide planes are more difficult to cut thinly.
Transfer the cabbage to a cup. Sprinkle with salt. Take the cabbage in portions and squeeze firmly with your hands. This is necessary to get rid of excess juice. You can easily do without this step if you fry the cabbage over high enough heat and in a wide, open frying pan. But you and I have an electric stove, its power is fixed, and we won’t take risks. Let's dry the cabbage.
Take a butcher knife. Cut a piece of meat into thin slices. Plates - into thin strips. Literally a straw. Yes, the meat is soft and difficult to cut. Okay, let me show you how to cut at the first gas station. The rest are you.
Peel the onion, cut into halves, cut the halves into thin half rings.
Peel 2-3 cloves of garlic, cut off the hard root part. Cut each clove into slices, the slices crosswise into thin short strips. Did you end up with cubes and not stripes? Well, it’s okay, they’re small, so you can cut them too.
Now let's fry.
Pour oil into the pan. Fire under the frying pan to maximum. Heat the oil. When is it enough to warm up? Drop the onion half ring into the oil. What is he doing? Does it bubble slightly? So it's early. It should dance in oil and bubbles, and quickly turn yellow. So early, wait, warm up.
Do you think it's time? Then pour the onion into the pan and stir continuously. Fry evenly. As soon as it becomes transparent and starts to turn golden, add the meat.
Place the meat in the frying pan. Stir again.
Now, while the meat is intensively releasing juice, you have time to squeeze the cabbage straws out of the juice. Squeeze in portions directly in the cup, transfer the squeezed mixture to a cutting board or plate.
Don't forget to stir the meat and onions. The meat should be brown and absolutely cooked. Now you see why the meat had to be cut very thin? The heat treatment time is very short.
While stirring the meat, add a pinch of salt, black pepper on the tip of a spoon and a tiny bit of hot pepper.
When adding salt, remember the cabbage. She will come to the gas station with her salt.
Is the meat brown? The onion doesn't burn? Add cabbage. Fry everything together, stirring vigorously. Our fire is strong, we can’t sleep. When you cook kuksi, you won’t leave the stove for a minute.
The cabbage should become yellow and soft.
Already? Add chopped garlic. Stir. Literally hold for half a minute, stirring everything together and remove the pan from the heat.
Transfer the cabbage dressing to a container. Leave it aside and let it cool down. When it cools down to warm, put it in the refrigerator. Kuksi soup is cold, which means all the dressings should not be hot.

Component 2 - Pepper Dressing
Oil;Onion;Meat;Salt; Bulgarian and Dungan; Garlic

Chop the meat, onion and garlic the same way as in the cabbage dressing. Meat - thin strips. Onion - thin half rings. Finely chop the garlic.
Remove the seeds from the bell pepper. Leave a few seeds on the sides of the pepper. It tastes better with them. Cut the peeled peppers into halves along the axis. Place the halves inside each other and cut into strips.
Now the Dungan pepper. This is a medium hot pepper. However, you still shouldn’t work with it with your bare hands. Wear gloves.
Cut the pod into two parts. Clean out the seeds with a knife. We won't leave them. This is the most burning part. The spiciness from the pepper pod is enough for us in kuksi.
Place the pod parts together.
Cut into thin strips. This pepper is very aromatic. The thinner you cut it, the brighter and more subtle the flavor of the dressing will be.
Now let's start frying. We no longer add pepper to this dressing. There's already some pepper here.

Yes, in the same one. Yours is mirror clean except in the oil from the previous fill-up. Well, if you want, wipe it with a paper napkin. Although I don’t see such a need.
Is the oil hot? Have you checked?
Then everything is the same as in cabbage dressing.
First fry the onion, then add the meat and fry together.
Don't forget to stir. The fire is strong.
Are the meat and onions ready? Salt.
Place the peppers in the pan. Both Bulgarian and Dungan.
Stir. Be guided by the bell pepper - it should become soft. It will practically not change its color.
Is the pepper bland? Add garlic. Heat everything together again for half a minute, stirring.
Remove the pan from the heat. Take another container and put the second dressing into it.
The first filling can already be put in the refrigerator.

Component 3 - Eggplant dressing
Oil; Onion; Meat; Tomatoes and achchik; Salt, black pepper;Eggplant;Achchik; Salt

Peel the eggplants.
Cut each into slices. Cut the plates into thin strips. Place the eggplant strips in a cup and add salt. Stir, shake. We, as in the case of cabbage, here get rid of excess liquid. And this procedure significantly improves the taste of eggplants.
Set the eggplants aside.
Prepare the meat, onion and garlic in the same way as in the previous two dressings.
Cut the tomatoes into thin semicircles.
Heat the oil in a frying pan.
Fry the onion as before. Drain the juice from the chopped tomatoes. Add the tomatoes to the onion, add another ounce on the tip of the spoon, and fry everything together. Not for long. So that the tomatoes do not start to burn and stick to the pan.
Salt. Keep in mind that we also salted the eggplants that will come later.
Add ground black pepper on the tip of a spoon.
Place the meat in the frying pan. Fry continuously stirring.
The meat should be brown and completely cooked. How to find out?
Oh, well, use a fork to remove the meat strip, blow it and eat it.
While you are checking, let me squeeze your eggplants, otherwise you will miss the moment.
You see, I take the eggplants in portions, squeeze them thoroughly and put them on a plate when they are completely dry.
Add eggplant to the pan.
Fry everything together, stirring continuously.
Next, repeat the procedure with short frying along with garlic.
Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the third dressing to a container. Place the second dressing, which has already cooled down, in the refrigerator.

Component 4 – Cucumber dressing
Take a break from the stove. Now we will prepare the fourth dressing, cucumber.
Cucumbers;Oil;Salt;Red and black ground peppers

Let's do it together. This procedure is tedious.
Cut off the ends of the cucumbers. Cut each cucumber into halves along the axis.
Place the halves cut side down on a cutting board and cut the cucumbers into half circles. Cut very thin, to the limit of what is imaginable. The thickness of the semicircles is less than a millimeter. They turn out flexible and transparent.
Place all the cucumbers in a cup. Add salt. Ground black and red pepper on the tip of a spoon. Stir. Add vegetable oil as you would to a salad. And mix again.
Transfer the fourth dressing to a container.
Put it in the refrigerator along with the third one.
Now it's time for the fifth dressing - egg pancakes.
Grab your new frying pan, it's perfect for pancakes. Our working frying pan is no longer clean enough after the tomatoes to continue frying on it. Especially pancakes.

Ingredient 5 - Egg Pancakes
Eggs;Oil

Beat three eggs into a cup. Take a fork and stir the eggs until smooth. Very, very homogeneous.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan.
Now listen first: you will pour in a third of a ladle of the egg mixture, lift the frying pan and quickly tilt it in different directions so that the mixture spreads evenly and thinly over the frying pan.
Use a spatula to lift the pancake from the pan; if the bottom part is fried, turn the pancake over. Keep it on the fire a little longer and remove it.
Do this until all the egg mixture is gone.
Get started!

Your pancakes turned out great! Golden, uniform, thin!
Take half a stack of pancakes.Roll it into a tight tube. On a cutting board, chop them along the edge of the tube into thin strips.

Now take a skein of noodles - urine. Mochenka is a name for thin noodles that do not need to be boiled. It is just soaked in boiling water.

Put a full kettle of water to boil.
Place the noodles into a large wide cup. You can’t put it entirely into anything anymore. And they never bought me a narrow, tall pan for spaghetti at Berghoff.
The kettle has already boiled. Pour boiling water over the noodles. After a couple of minutes, stir. The noodles should become soft and flexible. How long to keep it in boiling water is written on the packaging. But be guided by her condition. It's better to underexpose. Noodles drenched in muri will continue to soften.
Prepare the largest casas (deep bowls). It is inconvenient to eat kuksi from small braids (cups).
Drain the noodles.
Take the noodles directly with your hand. Using rotational movements, roll a skein of noodles around your hand to form a ball the size of your fist.
Transfer the skeins of noodles to deep plates.

Part 3 - Serving the dish

All refills are ready. The noodles are already in the bowls.
Now let's talk about how to serve this dish.

To submit:Soy sauce;Achchik;Diluted vinegar;Roasted sesame

Place each dressing in separate serving cups. Attach a separate spoon to each.
Separately in a cup - sesame seeds, and transfer the burning achchik to the rosette.Another bottle of soy sauce.
Pour cold drinking water into a glass. Add half a teaspoon of vinegar essence to it. (Careful with vinegar!) Pour this mixture into a second sauce bottle and also place on the table.
Pour half a liter of ice muri into the decanter.
Prepare forks and chopsticks. (Chopsticks are convenient and traditional) Call everyone to the table.

For those who have never encountered the great invention of the Koryo People - Kuksi, I will still give an explanation of the actions with kuksi at the table.
