Time 20m

Yield Serves 3 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive or peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon urad dal
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
2 dried hot red chiles, broken in half
5 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch rounds (rounds halved, if large)
1 teaspoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1/2-inch piece)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons finely grated fresh or thawed frozen coconut
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large frying pan, wok, or karhai over medium heat. When hot, add urad dal. As soon as it begins to change color, add mustard seeds and red chiles. When the mustard seeds pop and the chiles darken -- a matter of seconds -- add carrots, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well, then add 4 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over low heat until carrots are tender, 3 to 6 minutes. Add coconut and cilantro; mix well. Serve immediately.

STIR-FRIED BALSAMIC GINGER CARROTS



Stir-Fried Balsamic Ginger Carrots image

The carrots need to be cut as uniformly as possible so that all the vegetables cook in the same amount of time. If the carrots are skinny (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter), simply cut them into 2-inch pieces; if they're medium (about 1 inch in diameter), cut lengthwise in half before cutting into 2-inch pieces; if they're large (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), quarter lengthwise before cutting into 2-inch pieces. Blanching the carrots reduces the amount of oil necessary to stir-fry. Mince the ginger by hand; if you use a grater or microplane, the ginger will be too wet and will spatter in the oil.

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds carrots, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons soy sauce (low-sodium if desired)
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the carrots and return to a full boil, about 5 minutes. Boil for 2 additional minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander, shaking well to remove excess water. Combine the vinegar, sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the sugar, pepper and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small dish.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the ginger and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are well coated in oil and ginger. Swirl the vinegar mixture into the wok, sprinkle with the sugar mixture, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives.

STIR-FRIED COCONUT NOODLES



Stir-Fried Coconut Noodles image

Coconut milk brings distinctive flavor and creamy heft to these rice noodles, which are stir-fried with pork or chicken, bell pepper and eggplant. Be generous when you're seasoning the dish with nam pla (fish sauce), which adds umami and some welcome funk. No nam pla? Use soy sauce instead.

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound linguine-style rice noodles
3 tablespoons canola, corn or other neutral oil
1 pound minced or ground boneless pork or chicken
1 yellow or red bell pepper, seeded and minced
1 eggplant, about 1/2 pound, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 can unsweetened coconut milk (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
Nam pla (fish sauce), soy sauce or salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Minced cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • If using rice noodles, soak them in very hot water to cover until ready to add to stir-fry in Step 4. If using linguine, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, and cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite done. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
  • Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok; turn heat to high. A minute later, add meat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.
  • Add another tablespoon of the oil to skillet, followed by bell pepper and eggplant. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until both are browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; combine with meat.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of oil, followed immediately by the garlic and about 30 seconds later, the coconut milk. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon, for about a minute. Add drained noodles along with meat and vegetables, and cook until noodles absorb most of the coconut milk, about 3 minutes.
  • Season with nam pla to taste, then add plenty of black pepper. Garnish with cilantro, and serve.
