Description
A warm and flavorful shredded carrot salad with carrot greens, offering a sweet and garlicky taste. Perfect as a vegan side dish or light main course.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
- Carrot leaf greens to taste (I used a small handful)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch or 2.5 cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the shredded carrots and carrot greens, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
Notes
Carrot greens are edible and nutritious, but their taste is quite strong and slightly bitter. Use them sparingly at first to see if you like the taste. This salad pairs well with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
