  • Best 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.
