SIMPLE CARROT GREENS

Starring carrot greens, this easy recipe is sweet, aromatic, and a delight to eat. Try its own or as a side for fish or meat dishes.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of carrot greens
• 1 Tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 Tablespoon roasted sesame oil

Instructions

1. Start heating a pot of water over medium-high heat.
2. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the carrot greens. First cut off the leaves from the carrots, then discard the long stem parts (optional) and chop the carrot leaves into 1-inch (~2.5 cm) pieces. Set the carrots aside for use in another recipe. Wash the carrot greens removing any that are wilted.
3. When the water starts boiling, add the carrot leaves and blanch for 2 minutes. The leaves are very delicate so make sure not to overcook them. Squeeze out the extra water and let cool for 5 minutes.
4. Add the 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix the sauce well with the carrot leaves.

Notes

The stems are optional to include - they are a bit stringy and hard to chew, having a similar consistency to celery.
