Provided by PineyCook
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar or honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly crisp. Add the chicken all in 1 layer, and allow to sear on one side for 1 minute. Once seared, stir-fry the chicken for a few seconds, and then add the carrot noodles. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, and add an additional tablespoon of soy sauce, along with the scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add the baby spinach. Stir in the spinach until it's just wilted (it should only take a few seconds). Serve, and top with more chopped scallions if desired!

Steps:
- Combine carrots with 6 cups of water in a saucepan and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil, then stir in rice and a large pinch of salt. When the mixture returns to the boil, add spinach, then adjust heat so that it simmers gently.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice and carrots are very tender, about 1/2 hour, and the mixture takes on the consistency of a thick stew. Stir in garlic or butter (if you're using either or both), and cook another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve.

RAINBOW CARROT STIR-FRY
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.

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.

Steps:
- Halve carrot pieces lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. In a heavy medium skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and stir-fry carrots until they begin to turn golden. Add garlic and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add water and butter and simmer, covered, until carrots are just tender, about 3 minutes. Boil carrots, uncovered, until most of liquid is evaporated. Stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, take the time to wash and chop your carrots, spinach, and garlic. This will make the cooking process go much more smoothly.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to ensure that your carrots and spinach have plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Cook the carrots first: Carrots take longer to cook than spinach, so it's best to cook them first. This will help to ensure that they are tender by the time the spinach is done.
- Add the spinach last: Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important to add it to the skillet last. This will help to prevent it from becoming overcooked and wilted.
- Season to taste: Once the carrots and spinach are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Carrot and spinach stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
