Charred Carrot Salad with Toasted Walnuts
The signature move here is charring whole scallions directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet until blackened, then chopping them into the dressing — this gives the classic Russian Korean-style carrot salad a smoky, almost meaty backbone that the vinegar-and-coriander version never has. The result is a layered tension of crisp raw carrot ribbons against silky charred allium, with crunchy walnuts and a warm spiced oil poured sizzling over the top to bloom the seasonings on contact.
