How to Make Sesame Ginger Carrots

  1. Peel and thinly slice 1 pound of carrots. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1 inch of ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the carrots, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the carrots begin to soften.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) and 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat (optional).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
