Stir-Fried Shredded Carrots
[5-Minute Recipe] Deliciously Sweet Stir-Fried Shredded Carrots!
Carrots, those vibrant orange jewels often seen in winter, are incredibly versatile. While they’re used in many dishes, it’s rare to make a side dish solely from carrots. But with just carrots, minced garlic, salt, and cooking oil, you can whip up a fantastic side dish in mere minutes! Enjoy this simple yet nutritious stir-fried carrot delight.
Ingredients
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2/3 Tbsp minced garlic
- 6-7 pinches of salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the carrot, then peel it. Finely shred the carrot into thin strips. Try to cut them to a similar thickness for even cooking.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and let it heat up. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shredded carrots and begin to stir-fry.
Step 3
Once the carrots are coated with oil and start to become slightly translucent, add 2/3 tablespoon of minced garlic and 6-7 pinches of salt. Stir-fry them together for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Be careful not to overcook them into mushiness; you want them slightly crisp. If the pan seems dry, add 1 tablespoon of water to keep them moist.
Step 4
Your delightfully sweet and perfectly textured stir-fried shredded carrots are ready! They make a wonderful side dish for rice, or can be a lovely addition to salads. Enjoy this healthy and delicious carrot side dish!
