STIR-FRIED BALSAMIC GINGER CARROTS



Stir-Fried Balsamic Ginger Carrots image

The carrots need to be cut as uniformly as possible so that all the vegetables cook in the same amount of time. If the carrots are skinny (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter), simply cut them into 2-inch pieces; if they're medium (about 1 inch in diameter), cut lengthwise in half before cutting into 2-inch pieces; if they're large (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), quarter lengthwise before cutting into 2-inch pieces. Blanching the carrots reduces the amount of oil necessary to stir-fry. Mince the ginger by hand; if you use a grater or microplane, the ginger will be too wet and will spatter in the oil.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds carrots, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the carrots and return to a full boil, about 5 minutes. Boil for 2 additional minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander, shaking well to remove excess water. Combine the vinegar, sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the sugar, pepper and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small dish.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the ginger and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are well coated in oil and ginger. Swirl the vinegar mixture into the wok, sprinkle with the sugar mixture, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives.

Provided by ngdarlen

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -4 cups peeled carrots, cut into 1/4 inch rounds
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
salt
olive oil, to coat bottom of pan

Steps:

  • Heat an iron skillet or wok on medium/high heat and add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of pan.
  • Once pan is hot, add the smashed garlic and toss for several minutes to flavor the oil, careful not to let it burn.Leave the garlic in the pan and add the rest of the ingredients, give a good stir, and allow enough time between stirrings to let the carrots caramelize and get a crust.
  • Once carrots have caramelized , lower heat to medium--medium/low and continue cooking, stirring periodically, until carrots have reached desired doneness.
  • Cooking time is not approximate as some may prefer their carrots to retain some crunchiness, but to assure maximum sweetness, I recommend cooking till all carrots are soft throughout, which on the average, is about 10-15 minutes after caramelize process is complete.

STIR-FRIED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH SPICY PORK



Stir-Fried Carrots and Parsnips with Spicy Pork image

I based this on a Cantonese dish my dad would make when I was growing up. He would take hours chopping, dicing and slicing and then throw it all into a boiling hot wok and dinner would be served within two minutes. I think he loved the cinema of this type of cooking. I miss him and the dish so much that I came up with a simplified weeknight version of it. Don't like spicy food? Simply omit the red pepper flakes. Serve this with bowls of steamed rice.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound (16 ounces) ground pork
Kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 large or 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 large knob ginger, grated to equal about 2 tablespoons
5 ounces (half a 10-ounce package) frozen peas, defrosted
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
4 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts both
Cooked rice for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, break the pork into small pieces, add the pork in an even layer and season generously with salt and the red pepper flakes. Brown and cook the pork until the pink is gone, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables and finish: Stir in the garlic, carrots and parsnips and continue stirring and cooking until the vegetables are tender and mixed in, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, peas and vinegar with the hoisin. Shut off the heat and taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Stir in the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately, with cooked rice if desired.

STIR-FRIED CARROTS WITH COCONUT



Stir-Fried Carrots with Coconut image

This simple dish, also known as carrot poriyal, complements most Indian meals. Leftovers can be added to salads. Urad dal are small lentils that have been skinned and split; they can be found at Indian markets or kalustyans.com. This recipe is courtesy of Madhur Jaffrey.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 20m

Yield Serves 3 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive or peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon urad dal
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
2 dried hot red chiles, broken in half
5 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch rounds (rounds halved, if large)
1 teaspoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1/2-inch piece)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons finely grated fresh or thawed frozen coconut
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large frying pan, wok, or karhai over medium heat. When hot, add urad dal. As soon as it begins to change color, add mustard seeds and red chiles. When the mustard seeds pop and the chiles darken -- a matter of seconds -- add carrots, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well, then add 4 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over low heat until carrots are tender, 3 to 6 minutes. Add coconut and cilantro; mix well. Serve immediately.

Tips:

- **Choose the right carrots:** Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes. - **Cut the carrots evenly:** This will help them cook evenly. - **Use a large skillet or wok:** This will give the carrots plenty of room to cook without steaming. - **Heat the oil over medium-high heat:** This will help the carrots brown quickly. - **Add the carrots and garlic:** Cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender and slightly browned. - **Add the sauce ingredients:** Soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir to coat the carrots. - **Garnish with green onions:** This adds a fresh, flavorful touch.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried carrots and garlic is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious dish that the whole family will enjoy.
