Viral Korean Carrot Salad: How This Creation Overtook Tiktok | Eater

"The Korean carrot salad appears as its own line on the menu, serving as a welcoming sign to Central Asian ethnic groups now living in Los Angeles. “I see a lot of second- or third-generation [Koryo-saram] who tell me this is the food they’ve known all their life,” says Azim Rahmatov, who opened the restaurant with his wife Gulnigor Ganieva and his brother Azam. Rahmatov treats morkovcha as a banchan and recommends putting it on bacon-wrapped hot dogs for a quintessentially Los Angeles experience, illustrating how the dish can be integrated into new local contexts." - Lisa Kwon
