나물 당근 (Namul de Carottes)
Brighten your dinner table tonight with the vibrant flavors and textures of this quick and easy Korean seasoned carrots dish!
Start by peeling and julienning the carrots into thin strips.
In a medium pot, bring enough water to boil to blanch the carrots.
Once the water is boiling, add the julienned carrots and blanch them for about 2-3 minutes. You want them to be tender yet crispy.
Drain the carrots and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to drain completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and salt. Mix them thoroughly.
Add the blanched carrots to the bowl and toss well to coat them in the dressing.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and finely chopped green onion over the top, and give it another gentle toss.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish.
