Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 whole cloves garlic, peeled

2 teaspoons fish sauce
8 ounces carrots, peeled and grated
1 scallion (white and green parts), thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

  • Put the oil, garlic, and jalapeno in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the garlic is lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Put the sugar in a bowl and stir in the garlic mixture; cool. Add the lime juice and fish sauce and stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Add the carrots, scallion, and cilantro and toss.
