Ingredients
Makes 8 servings
Peel and cut 4 medium carrots into long matchstick-size pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Back to TopBest way to treat the carrots is with a medium coarse cutter on a mandoline producing matchsticks as long as the carrot was - good balance of texture with surface area to absorb the flavour of the sesame.

This could use a little more oil than the recipe calls for. I used my spiralizer to noodle the carrots for the right cut. I'd also cook it a few more minutes with the lid on for a minute or two just to bring a wilt to the carrots.

Simple and tasty. Used a knife instead of a vegetable peeler to get a little thicker cut because we like our carrots to stay crispy.

Simple and quite good. I've used the vegetable peeler trick on salads. I would not recommend it here. This is to be a chinese shred so the carrots have with some texture and crunch. Then you get more than just the presentation.

Nothing special about this recipe except for the presentation. Use a potato peeler to get nice long thin carrots. Rotate the carrot as you are peeling to reduce width.

This is so easy, but really tasty. We just shredded the carrots in a food processor and it was so easy.
