Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce 30 mL
  • 2 Tbsp orange juice 30 mL
  • 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce 15 mL
  • 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 6 large carrots trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce, 2 Tbsp orange juice, 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger.
    A metal whisk rests in a white bowl containing a dark brown liquid mixture, set on a textured green surface.
  • Shave Carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to peel down the length of each of the 6 large carrots, creating long ribbons.
    A person uses a metal peeler to peel a carrot over a wooden cutting board with carrot peels and whole carrots on a green surface.
  • Cook: Heat 1 Tbsp sesame oil in a large saute pan or a wok over medium heat. Add carrot noodles and cook for about 3 minutes, gently stirring often.
    Add in the sauce mixture and continue to cook another 1 minute, stirring to blend everything.

Notes

No need to peel the carrots unless you feel like it. Just wash them well first!
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. These reheat well in a saucepan over medium heat with a small splash of soy sauce or water to loosen the glaze, or in the microwave in 60-second intervals. They're also genuinely good cold, which makes them a strong meal prep option.
For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag with the air removed. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
