STIR-FRIED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH SPICY PORK

Steps:

• Cook the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, break the pork into small pieces, add the pork in an even layer and season generously with salt and the red pepper flakes. Brown and cook the pork until the pink is gone, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the vegetables and finish: Stir in the garlic, carrots and parsnips and continue stirring and cooking until the vegetables are tender and mixed in, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, peas and vinegar with the hoisin. Shut off the heat and taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Stir in the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately, with cooked rice if desired.

CARROT AND PARSNIP STIR FRY

Steps:

• *NOTE: For a little bit more "depth", you can substitute one half to one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil for part of the sesame oil or vegetable oil.
• In a large wok, heat up both oils on high heat.
• Add the parsnips and carrots, lowering heat to medium and stir frying until light golden.
• Turn up the heat to high and add the sake, mirin, and pinch of sugar. Cook until liquid is absorbed.
• Add the shoyu and almonds and stir fry an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly so almonds don't burn.
• Garnish with green onions or chives if desired.
• Serve hot.

PARSNIP AND CARROT CHIPS

Steps:

• After peeling one of the carrots, use the vegetable peeler to peel away long strips from the whole length of the carrot, allowing the strips to drop into a large bowl. Turn the carrot in your hand about one-quarter turn after every 4 or 5 strips, so you'll generally have strips of similar width and length overall. Do the same with the remaining carrots and the parsnips, both of which have a tough core that should be discarded once you get there (the color tends to change slightly).
• Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large heavy saucepan (the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan). Bring to 375°F over medium heat.
• While the oil is heating, combine the salt and thyme in a small dish and rub them together between your fingers for a bit to release the aromatics of the thyme.
• Carefully add a handful of the vegetable strips to the oil and fry until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use the back of a slotted spoon to gently press the strips down into the oil and spread them out a bit to help ensure even cooking. When crisped, lift out the strips and scatter them on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining vegetable strips, allowing the oil to reheat between batches as needed.
• Transfer the chips to a serving bowl, sprinkle the thyme-salt mixture over them, and serve. They will be best served shortly after frying.
