Carrot salad with sprouts and sesame seeds and Dumplings with cabbage recipes

I. Carrot salad with sprouts and sesame seeds

This salad is completely different from our traditional carrot salads, which are usually dressed with mayonnaise and mixed with garlic, grated cheese or nuts. It is very fresh and extremely useful. The yolks of boiled eggs, together with lemon juice and vegetable oil, turn into a dressing, and the proteins, together with herbs and sesame seeds, decorate and enrich the carrots.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 large carrots (500 g)

• 50 g of any sprouts

• 4-5 sprigs of cilantro or mint (15 g)

• 3 tsp roasted sesame seeds (12 g)

• 2 large eggs C0

• 1 tsp lemon juice (15 ml)

• 50 ml vegetable oil

• 1 tsp dark sesame oil

• salt

For dressing, boil eggs in boiling water with salt, 9 minutes. Transfer to ice water, then peel and remove the yolks. Beat with a blender or grind lemon juice, vegetable oil, a little salt and egg yolks in a mortar until smooth. Add sesame oil.

Step 2

Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and salt. Mix carrots with sprouts. Cut boiled squirrels into strips. Remove the green leaves from the branches, fold in a pile, roll into rolls, thinly slice.

Step 3

Mix all prepared ingredients and drizzle dressing over salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let stand 10 minutes, then serve.

II. Dumplings with cabbage

Dumplings with cabbage are cooked infrequently, which, in our opinion, is a big omission: they are not only very tasty, but also “lighter” than meat ones. That is, if you follow the figure, be sure to pay attention to this recipe! The filling of dumplings in it is proposed to be prepared not only with fresh, but also with sauerkraut. Thanks to this, their taste becomes more interesting, rich, even spicy. But in this case it is better not to overdo it with sourness, so sauerkraut should be soaked. There are no difficulties with the dough: the main thing is to knead it very carefully so that it rolls out as thinly as possible. And then you get the perfect dumplings, with lots of delicious stuffing in each!
