Magokoro

We went to Magokoro last week for dinner, and it was simply amazing and perfect. So yummy!
We got the tuna soba, tonkatsu, and the karamiso (spicy leeks on the side). It was just perfect. It was so good, in fact, that the children, who shared the tonkatsu ate all of it as well!
The tuna soba, we always ask for some wasabi on the side and this time the tuna was just so melt-in-your-mouth good!
The karamiso was also great. We get the spicy leeks on the side because sometimes they are quite spicy! But still always so good!!!
This place is really amazing. Highly recommend.

Carrot Salad "Korean Carrot Salad" - Корейская Морковка

This is called the korean carrot salad in Russia/Kazakhstan...how korean it is, I am not sure, but it is delicious! We have posted the recipe before, but never the pictures :) The texture of the salad is important, so if you can find something else to shred the carrots on that produces the long strands needed, that could be used as well. On the shorter/smaller shredder of a grater, it doesn't work as well.


The grater


Ingredients:

2 lbs of carrots sliced julienne way - very long thing strands, spaghetti like
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1 large onion chopped
6 cloves of garlic chopped
4 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Combine carrots and vinegar and salt and squish it all together with your hands until carrots are soft and silky feeling.
2. Heat up canola oil. Add in chopped onion. Fry until soft, but not golden. Add to the carrots.
3. Add in garlic, coriander, paprika and cayenne and sugar. Stir together.
4. Let sit overnight before serving. This is optional, but it does allow for a different array of flavors. 

What we liked:

So good!

What we didn't like:

It's very time consuming :) And the grating dyes your hands orange! But so worth it!

What Kaspian thought about it:

Not really his type of food quite yet.
