Korean asparagus and carrot salad
You should start your acquaintance with the dish under discussion with a classic recipe. For it, you should use dried asparagus (180 g) and a large number of different seasonings. You need to take: 3-4 cloves of garlic, 3 tsp each. sugar and salt, 90 ml. soy sauce without additives, 1 white onion, special spices for Korean carrots, any oil for frying.
- To begin with, fuju is soaked in cold water for 7-9 hours. The easiest way is to leave it in liquid overnight. After this, the shoots are squeezed out of water and cut into thin strips.
- The onion is chopped in any convenient way and fried in oil until golden.
- Separately, soy sauce is combined with garlic passed through a press, the oil remaining from cooking the vegetable, sugar, salt, and spices are added to it. The mass is thoroughly kneaded until smooth.
- The asparagus is poured with the resulting sauce, placed in a hermetically sealed container and placed in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours. The longer the snack stays in the cold, the tastier it will be.
If the housewife has very little time left, then spicy asparagus can be prepared very quickly. To do this, you will need to use other ingredients: 250 g of dried fuju, 120 ml. water, 60 ml. table vinegar (you can use wine vinegar), 1 large carrot, a couple of garlic cloves, 3 tsp. sugar, butter, a pinch of salt and ground red pepper. The following describes how to cook asparagus in Korean as quickly as possible.
- The first step is to boil water and pour dried asparagus into it. Under such conditions, the optimal soaking time for the ingredient will be reduced to 1 hour.
- Carrots are chopped using a special “Korean” grater. But, if you don’t have it on hand, you can use a regular large one.
- To prepare the marinade, pepper is combined with salt, granulated sugar, chopped garlic and vinegar. The resulting mixture is placed in a saucepan over medium heat. Turn off the stove as soon as the liquid boils.
- The marinade is poured onto the chopped fuja mixed with carrots. The snack is placed under pressure and left warm for approximately 1 hour. Next, it should be moved to the refrigerator for storage.
Spicy asparagus prepared according to this recipe will be an excellent addition to salads. You can also add it to spicy sauces for meat.
- If you couldn't find unagi sauce concentrate, replace it with a teaspoon of regular table salt; the taste of the finished dish will hardly be affected. It is also possible to replace hot paprika with five grams of hot ground pepper.
- Many chefs recommend pouring boiling water over dry asparagus to reduce the time it takes to proof the product. However, remember that after such boiling the plant often becomes unappetizing in appearance and mealy in taste.
- Instead of Korean carrots, you can add pickled cucumbers or mushrooms to the salad - this will result in a slightly different dish, but it is in no way inferior to the original in taste.
Spicy fuju goes perfectly with Korean carrots. Such an appetizer can become a separate independent dish on the holiday table. Especially if you add red sweet bell pepper (1 pc.) to it. You will also need to use: 300 g of prepared Korean carrots, 200 g of dry asparagus, 2 white onions, 30 ml. soy sauce, a mixture of ground peppers, 4-5 garlic cloves and salt.
- Break the asparagus, add warm water, add salt and leave for about 1 hour.
- Chop the onion and bell pepper, fry the slices in oil until half cooked, and then add the soaked fuja, a little water, spices to the vegetables and simmer the listed ingredients over low heat for 10-12 minutes.
- The resulting mixture is combined with Korean carrots and seasoned with soy sauce.
The finished spicy appetizer can be sprinkled with a large amount of chopped herbs and served as an addition to any meat or vegetable dish.
- Such salads can be safely used as an independent dish, for example, during a second breakfast or a light dinner. Just remember to serve the dish with suitable drinks - milk, unsweetened tea or coffee.
- In addition, Korean-style asparagus can be an excellent side dish for main courses, especially beef or chicken. In this case, it should be served on the same plate with the main dish.
- If you decide to eat this salad with first courses, serve the asparagus in a separate small container and eat by threading the stalks onto a fork. The appetizer will turn even the simplest soup into a culinary masterpiece.
This dish is suitable for both a festive table and an everyday dinner. It turns out not only very tasty, but also satisfying.

This is a healthy herbal product. In the Russian-speaking space, it received the erroneous name “asparagus,” although this semi-finished product has nothing to do with this type of plant grown in the ground. Its real name is fuzhu, it comes from the Chinese language. The beneficial properties of asparagus from soybeans were noted by residents of the east in ancient times.
The Koreans call it yuba, and the Japanese call it doupi. In Russia, this product is also called “Chinese fern” or “Korean-style asparagus.” To prepare dry asparagus, soybeans are used, which bring great benefits to the body due to minerals - potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron. The process consists of several stages. First, the soybeans are filtered and soaked in water. Next, special devices are used to separate the soy curd from it.
Soy milk is prepared from the remaining product and boiled. A fatty layer called fupi forms on the surface. It is removed, hung, and left to dry for a while. At the end of the process, long, wrinkled sheets of familiar shape are obtained. This is a ready-made product - fuzhu.
If ordinary vegetable asparagus has a minimum calorie content of 15 kcal per 100 g, then this figure is significantly different for a product prepared in Korean. The exotic snack has 234 kcal for every 100 g.
If we talk about dried asparagus, the figure turns out to be even higher - 440 kcal per 100g. At the same time, the harmonious composition of the product allows it to be included in the diet menu in any form. Asparagus is high in protein and low in fat.
Soy asparagus is not a green vegetable from the garden. It is a secondary product of soybean processing. Milk is extracted from the beans by soaking them. The liquid is boiled, the film is removed from the surface and dried to a thin, dry sheet.
In Asia, this product is called fuju, and is widely used for preparing various dishes.

Soy asparagus fuju - Jurenko's recipes
In recent years, in the wake of growing interest in various “systems” of nutrition, a variety of legumes and preparations from them are increasingly used as a protein substitute for meat.
One of them is soy asparagus, now it can often be found on sale and its popularity is constantly growing in the world. I'll admit, I didn't expect to like the soy asparagus salad.
My daughter taught him to cook, thanks for the idea.
Mainly, this preparation is distributed in Southeast Asia, island countries, Japan, and Central Asia. The names adopted in the regions are fuzhu, fupi, yuba.
This is a fairly thick film that can be peeled off from soy milk. It is used immediately, and for sale it is dried and packaged. This is how it is sold.
It is worth saying that this product has nothing to do with asparagus. He just looks a little like her.
Fuzhu occurs on the surface of squeezed soy milk when boiled during the cooking process of tofu. This is a thick and greasy layer. Once removed, it is ready to use or dry and then pack.
The calorie content of the dry product exceeds 400 kcal/100 grams. When dried, the film wrinkles and stretches.
In fact, you can make salads and snacks from it, fry it with vegetables, or simply eat it, dipping it in sauce.
A simple salad of lightly boiled yuba with the addition of garlic, herbs, and chili can be an excellent spicy appetizer or main dish for vegetarians. If you soak dry sticks in advance, it will take 10-15 minutes to prepare the dish. If desired, the salad can be made more spicy or other ingredients can be added to suit your taste.
The dry semi-finished product must be soaked in cold water. At least for a few hours. Can be left in water overnight or longer. To make the soy asparagus salad soft, the pieces need to be boiled a little after soaking.
As a rule, in our stores soy asparagus is sold in bags of 400-500 grams. This is enough for 6-8 snack servings. Wrinkled dry sticks are quite long. They really resemble young shoots of a famous delicious plant. They are colored reddish-orange, which disappears when soaked and boiled.
Ingredients (6-8 servings)
- Dry soy asparagus (fuju, yuba, fupi) 400 gr
- Garlic 1 head
- Ginger 30 gr

Soy asparagus salad. Recipe
- How much to prepare the salad - decide for yourself.
I brought all the ingredients to my taste, based on the entire pack weighing 400 grams. Dry soy asparagus is sold in different packaging and, even in an open bag, can be stored for some time. Soy asparagus, fuju, yuba - You need to soak the fuju in advance.
Place the required amount of semi-finished product in a deep bowl or pan. Pour in cold water and cover with an inverted saucer, which will submerge the chopsticks a little. If necessary, you can put a small weight on top. Leave to soak for at least 2-3 hours. Soak soy sticks in water - Prepare vegetables and herbs.
Peel a piece of fresh ginger. Fuzhu salad is very tasty, if it has a lot of garlic, feel free to add it. The amount of “chili” to taste depends on the spiciness of the pepper. Fresh cilantro is a must. I advise you to add a feather of green onions. In addition, you need the typical Asian cuisines - rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce and perhaps a little brown sugar. Vegetables and herbs for salad - Soaked soy asparagus is washed with cold water.
The sticks are already soft, but a little “rubbery” - this is their usual consistency. Use a knife to cut them into pieces 5 cm long. Transfer to a saucepan and add water, put on fire. Cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes from the start of boiling. Then drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Leave to drain all the liquid. Cut soy milk sticks and boil - Prepare the sauce in a large bowl.
Cut the peeled ginger into small pieces and pass through a garlic press. Grind the peeled garlic cloves in the same way. Chop the peeled chili seeds very finely. Mix everything together and add finely chopped cilantro. Add chopped green onions. Chop and mix vegetables - Peel the carrots and grate them.
Mix all the vegetables. Add 0.5-1 tsp. brown sugar. When the sugar dissolves, add 1-1.5 tbsp. soy sauce, 1 tsp. rice vinegar, 1 tsp. sesame seeds and pour in about 3 tbsp. sesame oil. You don't need salt, it's in soy sauce. Stir the sauce. By the way, brown sugar can be replaced with 1 tbsp. mirin – sweet rice “liquor”. Mix the sauce and add the prepared soy asparagus - Soy asparagus is already ready and has almost no signs of moisture.
Mix vegetable sauce with fuju, mix well. Basically, the appetizer is ready. But it's better to let it sit in the refrigerator for a while. It will soak in and only become tastier. Soy asparagus salad with vegetables - Place the soy asparagus salad into small bowls or plates. Garnish with sprigs of cilantro and thinly sliced chili peppers. Typically, in China, such dishes are eaten with chopsticks.
