Asian Inspired Shredded Carrot

When coming by a good side dish, I sometimes fail to find inspiration and the same "go-to" salads and vegetables can get boring. I needed something different, something that would be flavoursome and good for me and my family, so I came up with a simple and easy carrot side dish thats easy to put together and tastes great.

Here is my Asian Inspired Shredded Carrot with Sesame Seeds:

What You'll Need:

Carrots - for two people one large organic carrot will do the job.
Cashews, halved - quarter to half a cup should be enough 
Sesame Seeds

Sauce:

2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Rice wine vinegar

Note: If the sauce is too acidic or sour, add more honey to balance this out. 

Method:

  1. First heat your pan or wok, then you'll want to cook your cashews first so they are warm and you can see their oils coming out, put aside in a bowl. 
  2. Grate carrot into a mixing bowl, use the large holes for grating
  3. Mix your honey sauce in a cup by combing honey, apple cider vinegar and rice wine vinegar, I then heated it up you can do this in a sauce pan or pot once hot quickly pour back into cup
  4. Combine the carrot, cashews and sauce and mix through carefully.
  5. Serve topped with sesame seeds.


A tasty, healthy and bright side dish!
