Description
A delicious and easy recipe for glazed carrots, made with soy sauce and honey for a sweet and savory flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb carrots (cut on the diagonal)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 pinch chili flakes (optional)
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup minced cilantro
Instructions
- Prep carrots: Slice the carrots on a sharp diagonal ½ inch thick.
- Make sauce: In a measuring cup, mix the soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, and, if using, the chili flakes.
- Steam carrots: Add the carrots and water to a large frying pan (cast-iron if you have one) over medium-high heat. Let the carrots boil until the water evaporates, and the carrots are crisp-tender. (If they are not mostly cooked to your liking, add a little more water and continue to cook.)
- Glaze: Pour the sauce into the pan, let it boil, stirring frequently, until it is a thick glaze that coats the carrots.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Sprinkle the cilantro over top and serve right away.
Notes
- Fish sauce can be adjusted based on preference.
- Chili flakes are optional for those who prefer less heat.
