Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not rinse the carrot after salting, as washing it will wash away its natural sweetness and nutrients—always cook it while still moist.
  • Avoid using a blender to grind pine nuts, as it releases too much oil and causes clumping; the key is to gently crush them on a kitchen towel with a rolling pin until they are crumbly.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables, or their crisp texture will be lost—stir-fry just until they're slightly wilted for the best taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the viral recipe from Black & White Chef at home.
  • People seeking a light, healthy, vegetable-focused dish without noodles.
  • Parents or caregivers looking to serve carrots in a tasty and nutritious way to family or children.
