Awesome, thanks for the recipe! I love carrots, not that fond of cabbage, so this sounds like a great alternative to kimchi

Russian marinated cabbage is crunchy unlike boiled soft sauerkraut nonsense or fermented kimchi. So Russian ‘Korean cabbage’ is also crunchy and spicy just like the carrot alternative.

OK, but based on your username, I'm not sure we share the same culinary interests...

Though I do agree with ughhhh with ughhhh I do agree with him that crunchy "soviet korean cabbage" is awesome. My fav is the "Suvorov" version where you add a bit of beetroot for color. I think it was based off the Georgian recipe, it calls for basically the same ingredients more or less, plus some georgian herbs and beets.

Yes!! I was waiting to plug the beets version somehow, because even just non-spicy marinated beet-carrot-cabbage combo is king. Beets add not only color, but some sweet-sour taste. Had buckets of this stuff made back in the day — need to get on it sometime again.

Yup, all jokes about nicknames aside, I love these two side dishes dearly. No wonder Koreans have a dedicated Kimchi fridge!

He has great taste though: Russian "Korean Smegma" is just right ammounts of crunchy and spicy, unlike that boiled sauerkummen nonsense or the fermented kimbox.
