Oriental Carrot Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place grated carrots in a large bowl.
• Combine sugar, water, and vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add garlic, fish sauce, and curry paste to sugar mixture and simmer until flavors blend, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool dressing completely, about 30 minutes.
• Stir lime juice and red pepper flakes into dressing and pour over carrots. Add peanuts and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine carrots and green pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
• Add to carrots, mixing well.
• Chill several hours to blend flavors.
• (To toast sesame seeds, place them in a shallow pan in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.).

Steps:

• Shave the daikon into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a colander; let drain in the sink, tossing occasionally, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, shave the carrots into ribbons with the peeler.
• Make the dressing: Whisk the ginger, vinegar, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the vegetable oil and sesame oil until blended.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until the white seeds are golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon seeds to the dressing.
• Toss the daikon and carrots with the dressing and season with salt. Top with the remaining sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in skillet on medium-high heat; add carrots, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, juice (or water) and ginger root. Reduce heat, cover and cook at a simmer and stir until carrots are crisp-tender (depends how small your carrot slices are).
• Stir in the honey. Stir in well and cook until heated through.
• Top with the sesame seeds. Season with pepper and salt, if needed.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine carrots, scallions, vinegar, oil, sesame seeds, and lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place rack in 13x9x2- inch baking pan. Add enough water to reach depth of 1/4 inch (it should not touch rack). Stir hoisin and soy sauce in small bowl; brush thickly all over pork. Arrange pork on rack in pan. Pour any remaining sauce over.
• Roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 145°F, about 30 minutes. Transfer pork to cutting board. Cover loosely with foil; let rest 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise slightly).
• Meanwhile, toss carrots and all remaining ingredients in large bowl.
• Thinly slice pork on slight diagonal. Arrange on platter. Drizzle with any juices from board. Serve with carrot salad.
• Available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Steps:

• 1. Combine the carrots, edamame and raisins in a medium sized bowl.
• 2. Combine ingredients for the dressing and let sit until the sugar dissolves.
• 3. Add the dressing to the carrot mixture.
• 4. Let sit for 30 minutes in the refridgerator before serving to allow the flavors to mingle. Serve chilled.

Steps:

• Depending on your noodles, you may need to start cooking them before or after you slice the carrots. Mine only take 5 minutes so I did them afterwards.Regardless start boiling your water for them now.
• Wash and peel your carrots. With your vegetable peeler make long carrot "noodles". This is the bulk of the prep time. If I find an easier way to do this, I will amend this recipe.
• Sprinkle the carrot peels with salt to draw out moisture. In a few minutes they will be quite limp (like cooked noodles). If you are using fast cooking noodles, now would be the time to cook them.
• Mix the last three ingredients.
• Mix the limp carrot strips, the cooked and drained noodles, and the sauce mixture.
• Refrigerate at least one hour before serving(the cook time listed), but can be made as much as 24 hours ahead of time.
