Many people dislike carrots. Try making a delicious side dish with carrots. Watch from 00:40 seconds. This recipe is perfect for adding vibrant color and subtle sweetness to your meals.
Ingredients- Carrot: 100g
- Egg: 1 pc
- Sesame oil: 1 Tbsp
- Salt: 1 pinch
- Soy sauce: 1 tsp
- Sugar: 1 tsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely julienne the carrot (about 100g). Wash the carrot thoroughly, peel it, and then cut it into very thin matchsticks. Ensuring the pieces are uniform will help them cook evenly and quickly, bringing out their natural sweetness.
Step 2
In a small bowl, crack one egg and whisk it well with a fork or chopsticks until the yolk and white are fully combined. Having the egg mixture ready will streamline the cooking process.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Once the fragrant aroma of sesame oil develops, add the julienned carrots. Stir-fry gently, ensuring the carrots don’t burn, until they become slightly translucent and tender. This process helps to soften the carrots and enhance their flavor.
Step 4
Once the carrots are partially cooked, add the seasoning: 1 pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Keep the heat low and stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the carrots. Taste and adjust the salt or sugar if needed, according to your preference.
Step 5
Finally, pour the whisked egg mixture around the edges of the pan. As the egg begins to set, use chopsticks or a spatula to gently scramble it and mix it with the carrots. Continue to stir until the egg is cooked through and resembles fluffy scrambled eggs mixed with the tender carrots. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful dish with a bowl of hot rice!
