STIR-FRIED BALSAMIC GINGER CARROTS

Steps:

• In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the carrots and return to a full boil, about 5 minutes. Boil for 2 additional minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander, shaking well to remove excess water. Combine the vinegar, sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the sugar, pepper and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small dish.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the ginger and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are well coated in oil and ginger. Swirl the vinegar mixture into the wok, sprinkle with the sugar mixture, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives.

GARLIC CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

Stir fry until onion becomes translucent, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and stir until opaque, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 4 cloves minced garlic and stir. Add sweet onions, cabbage, bell pepper, peas and 1/2 cup of the broth/water and cover.

STIR-FRIED GINGER AND GARLIC CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat an iron skillet or wok on medium/high heat and add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of pan.
• Once pan is hot, add the smashed garlic and toss for several minutes to flavor the oil, careful not to let it burn.Leave the garlic in the pan and add the rest of the ingredients, give a good stir, and allow enough time between stirrings to let the carrots caramelize and get a crust.
• Once carrots have caramelized , lower heat to medium--medium/low and continue cooking, stirring periodically, until carrots have reached desired doneness.
• Cooking time is not approximate as some may prefer their carrots to retain some crunchiness, but to assure maximum sweetness, I recommend cooking till all carrots are soft throughout, which on the average, is about 10-15 minutes after caramelize process is complete.
