Golden Ratio! A Rice-Stealing Side Dish, Easy Stir-Fried Carrot and Potato Julienne
Whip up a delicious vegetable stir-fry with just potatoes and carrots! This easy side dish is perfect for using up leftover vegetables in your fridge and brings out a natural sweetness as it cooks.
Main Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 1/3 medium carrot
- 1 medium onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the main ingredients, potatoes and carrots. You can peel them or leave the skins on if you prefer. Julienne the potatoes and carrots into thin, uniform strips. It’s important to cut them thinly so they cook evenly and quickly. Peel the onion and julienne it to match the length and thickness of the potatoes and carrots.
Step 2
Heat a wide frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add a little cooking oil, and then add the julienned potatoes first. Begin to stir-fry. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the potatoes start to turn translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are starting to cook, add the julienned carrots and continue to stir-fry them together. Carrots cook slightly faster than potatoes, so stir-fry them with the potatoes, allowing them to develop a beautiful color. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the julienned onion and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until all the vegetables are tender and fragrant. When the onion becomes translucent and is well combined with the other vegetables, the base of your delicious side dish is complete. Now, add a pinch of black pepper to remove any raw smell, and season with salt to your taste. Continue to stir-fry for about 1-2 more minutes until all ingredients are fully cooked.
Step 5
Once all ingredients are perfectly cooked, turn off the heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Finally, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for a vibrant and tasty carrot and potato julienne! If you like, you can drizzle a little sesame oil at the end for an extra layer of flavor. Enjoy this satisfying dish with a bowl of warm rice!
