Recipe

Wash the carrot thoroughly and slice it diagonally into long strips, keeping the skin on.
For the remaining parts that might be risky to push with a mandoline, cut them thinly by hand.
Add a swirl of olive oil to a pan over medium heat, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds until fragrant.
Once the garlic aroma rises, add all the sliced carrots and continue stir-frying over medium heat.
After about 2 minutes of stir-frying, when the carrots begin to soften, add 3 pinches of salt and mix evenly.
Continue stir-frying over medium heat for a total of 4 minutes 30 seconds to 5 minutes, until the carrots become tender.
Turn off the stove, transfer the stir-fried carrots to a plate, spread them out, and let cool slightly before serving.

Cooking tips

The carrot skin contains many nutrients, so avoid peeling—just wash it well and use it as-is.
Beta-carotene in carrots is fat-soluble, so cooking them in oil like olive oil increases their absorption rate in the body.
Adding sesame oil or toasted sesame seeds can overpower the carrot’s natural sweet aroma and flavor, so skipping them results in a more delicious taste.
