How to Make Soy Sauced Carrots

  1. Cut 1 pound of carrots in half lengthwise.
  2. Score the rounded side of each carrot half by making numerous shallow cuts, about 1/4 inch apart, without cutting all the way through.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the carrots with 1/2 cup soy sauce. Let sit for 30 minutes, flipping the carrots halfway through.
  4. Cut the marinated carrots into bite-sized chunks before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
