How to Make Sesame Ginger Carrots
- Peel and thinly slice 1 pound of carrots. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and 1 inch of ginger.
- 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.
- Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) and 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar. Stir to combine.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds.
- 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.
