It's been over half hour after dinner and I STILL can't get over how awesome this dish was!!! The combination of carrots, sesame, ginger and garlic is simply out of this world, with each ingredient contributing in its own special way. This recipe is perfect in every way, and even though I usually HAVE to add salt to everything, I didn't even need a sprinkling of it here! The only thing I changed(?) was in not chopping the sesame seeds, because, um, they're so tiny anyway! :-) I can't gush enough over this, Bergy... thank you sooooo much! -
The seasonings were great and it was a perfect compliment to our asian flavored meal. That said, the cooking time ended up twice what the recipe called for to get them crisp tender. Next time I'll lightly steam them first and then saute.

Definitely a nice way to dress up the ol' carrot & so easy to prepare, too! I'll certainly be making these again & again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC recipe tag] -
Very good. Very simple. I too skipped the chopping of sesame seeds. they are so little! A big hit all around. thanks! -
These carrots are excellent, Bergy. I have the dark sesame oil, which is quite strong, so I used maybe 1/4 tsp of it so it wouldn't overpower the rest. I finished the dish off with some honey, maybe 1 Tbsp, to give it some nice sweetness and shine. Thanks for posting! --Heather

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
