How to Make Sweet And Sour Carrots
- Peel and diagonally slice 1 pound of carrots.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 cup of water over medium-high heat.
- Add the carrots and cook until barely tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the bell pepper and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Drain the wok, reserving the cooking liquid if desired.
- Set the carrots and peppers aside.
- Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving the juice.
- Add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make 1/3 cup of liquid.
- In the same wok, whisk together the 1/3 cup of pineapple juice mixture, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the cooked carrots and bell peppers to the wok.
- Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve hot. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions (optional).
