Youfan's Stir-Fry Carrots

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups of shredded carrots (about 3 big carrots shredded or 1 pack pre-shredded) -- the pre-shredded will come out crunchier or cook longer for more flavor -- don't mind the extra carrots in the picture!
  • 3-5 cloves of garlic
  • 2 green onion
  • 1/3 inch ginger (or 1 tsp minced)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/3 lb ground pork (can also use 85% ground beef)
  • 1/2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp cooking wine
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese dark vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (regular)
  • 1 tbsp dark soy
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4-1/3 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper if you like spicy


  • Grate/shred carrots
  • mince/chop finely the garlic and ginger
  • chop the green onion 
  • heat the oil in a pan (have lid handy) then add the ground pork
  • cook on medium until pork breaks apart and is no longer pink
  • Add the green onion, garlic, and ginger
  • Cook until flagrant 
  • Add Carrots
  • Add in fish sauce, cooking wine, vinegar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce
  • Add lid to the pan and let cook -- if too dry or if you like your dish saucy to go over rice, can add 1/3 cup water and double the sauce (liquids)
  • Cook about 3-4 minutes, add in sugar, sesame oil, pepper (and red pepper if you like spicy), cook another 3 minutes, taste -- simmer longer if you like your carrots softer or if you are using pre-shredded, cook until carrots are to your desired consistency
