HOW TO MAKE CARROT KINPIRA | Carrot stir fried with soy sauce.

burdock root

🥗Healthier: daikon radish

💰Cheaper: carrots

Daikon provides a similar texture and flavor at a lower cost.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar + sugar

These alternatives mimic the sweetness and acidity of mirin.

Peel the carrot using a slicer.

Cut the carrot diagonally into thin matchsticks.

Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the cut carrot to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until it becomes soft.

Season the carrot with 1 tablespoon of sake, 1 tablespoon of mirin, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Continue cooking until the liquid evaporates and the carrot turns brown, about a few minutes more.

Turn off the heat and add sesame seeds for garnish, mixing them in.

Plate the dish and serve.
