RAINBOW CARROT STIR-FRY



Rainbow Carrot Stir-Fry image

In January, a friend gave me beautiful lacquered chopsticks from Shanghai. That was a spur for me to pull out my wok for a stir-fry of spring onions and young carrots of all colors: purple and dark red-orange, yellow and the familiar orange. I've made many rainbow pepper stir-fries, but this time I used my multicolored carrots, and cut them into matchsticks so they would cook quickly along with the spring onions. I wanted this to be a main dish, so I added tofu, as well as the aromatics that I always use in my stir-fries: garlic, ginger, dry sherry, soy sauce and a bit of sugar. The list of ingredients in stir-fry recipes can look long, even daunting. But most of the ingredients don't require knife skills, just measuring spoons, so the preparation is simple. And the actual cooking goes very quickly, so quickly that it's important to have everything prepped and within reach of your wok. Read through the recipe a couple of times before you begin cooking, because once you start, you won't have time to refer to it.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 14-ounce box firm tofu, cut into dominoes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock, or water
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot
2 tablespoons peanut or other neutral oil
2 to 3 teaspoons minced garlic (to taste)
2 to 3 teaspoons minced ginger (to taste)
1 pound carrots, preferably a mix of colors, cut into matchsticks
1 bunch spring onions or 2 bunches scallions, white or purple, and light green parts separated from dark green parts, chopped
1 tablespoon black or toasted white sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Cooked grains or noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Drain and dry tofu slices on paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine and stock. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl. In another bowl, dissolve cornstarch or arrowroot in 2 tablespoons stock or water; stir well. Have ingredients within reach of pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil by adding it to the sides of the pan or wok and swirling, then add tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining soy sauce; stir-fry until no liquid is visible in pan. Remove tofu to a plate.
  • Swirl in remaining oil; add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add carrots and white and light green parts of onions or scallions; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper and sugar; toss together and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Return tofu to wok along with sesame seeds and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Stir cornstarch or arrowroot slurry and add it to pan along with cilantro and onion greens. Stir until everything is lightly glazed and remove from heat. Serve with hot grains or noodles.

CAJUN RAINBOW CARROT FRIES



Cajun Rainbow Carrot Fries image

The secret ingredient to crispy carrot (or sweet potato fries) is a little bit of organic corn starch! Too much and they will be pasty, too little and they won't get as crispy. My favorite way to eat these is with a little ketchup mixed with sriracha (a 4:1 ratio.) You can just buy a pre-made Cajun seasoning at the store (easy), or make your own by combining the spices listed.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid using old or woody carrots, as they will not fry up as well.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to cut the carrots into thin strips. Just be careful not to cut yourself!
  • Be sure to dry the carrots thoroughly before frying them. This will help them to crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the carrots. This will cause them to steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the carrots until they are golden brown and crispy. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the carrots with your favorite spices. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
  • Serve the carrots immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cajun rainbow carrot fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
