Ribbon Carrot Stir Fry
Ribbon carrots stir fry
Carrots is one of my top favourite vegetables. It’s such a delicious and healthy vegetable. I eat it very often, either in freshly made carrot juice with apples or in stir fry and soups.
Carrots are sweet and high in vitamins and minerals and they make great juices. My best is still carrot and apple juice. Carrot juice is widely used in natural healing for diseases like cancer. My whole family has benefitted greatly from it. You can read more about it by clicking on the links below.
Ribbon Carrot Stir Fry is a new dish that I tried recently. I love the look and the taste. I actually had fun peeling them into ribbons. Cooking it was simple and easy. Carrots have a lovely natural sweetness of its own so simple seasoning like a little sea salt is good enough.
Here is my Ribbon Carrots Stir Fry recipe….simple, colourful, healthy and delicious.
Ingredients
carrots (peeled)
coriander
fried garlic oil
butter
sea salt
Ribbon-like carrot strips
Wash the carrot clean. Use a peeler, peel the carrot along its length into ribbons. Be careful not to peel your fingers. I almost did that.
Stir fry the ribbon carrots
Heat up some fried garlic oil in a frying pan or wok. Add the carrots and a little water to it. Cover and cook for a couple of minutes, depending on how soft you want the carrots to be. I love it with still some crunch to it. Add a tablespoon of butter, some sea salt and chopped coriander to it and mix well. Dish up and serve hot. It’s so delicious I can even eat a big plate on its own.

What a great way to cook carrots! Lovely and delicious too. Looks like fried broad bean noodles at a glance!
Von on October 18th, 2010
This is such a good idea! I love carrots, but I’ve never thought of just cooking carrots like this! I’ll have to try this one some day…..
although I’d have a hard time trying not to cut off my fingers =S
zurin on October 18th, 2010
I love ribboning carrots too. such a pretty dish!
Joanne on October 18th, 2010
I always have carrots on hand but never really know what to do with them. What a great recipe!
Sanjeeta kk on October 18th, 2010
Lovely way to add carrots in kids’ menu.
The Little Teochew on October 18th, 2010
Brilliant! And they look like fettucine! I love what you have done, Mary.
busygran on October 18th, 2010

Jeannie on October 18th, 2010
Looks good! Love the way you strip your carrots:D
Shirley@kokken69 on October 18th, 2010
Unlike you, I am not a big fan of carrots. However, I think it is brilliant of you to prepare carrots this way.
lena on October 18th, 2010
i think the only way for me to obtain the nutrients from carrots is by juicing..now you have given me an new idea with this healthy and simple dish!
Lyndsey on October 18th, 2010
Mary this looks so good, I love how you cut the carrots. My daughter would like this. I’ve used zucchini like that but had fettuccine with it. Your recipe is certainly worth trying!
Sarah Naveen on October 18th, 2010
Healthy and yummy!!!! loved it…
peteformation on October 18th, 2010

food-4tots on October 18th, 2010
It’s one of my son’s favourite veggie. Will definitely try it out one day. The ribbon carrots look like kuey teow. So beautiful and appealing! 
Swathi on October 18th, 2010
Looks delicious I love the way you grated.
Reeni on October 18th, 2010
This is so creative Mary! I love carrots and am always looking for new ways to cook them. I bet this is delicious!
Arnold on October 18th, 2010
I like the idea behind this. One could actually twirl the carrots around a fork much as you would spaghetti. This really looks great.
anncoo on October 18th, 2010
From the first picture I thought is a carrot noodles Looks so delicious and healthy.
lequan on October 18th, 2010
Oh Mary, I absolutely LOVE this dish! You are a genius! This is definitely a fun, healthy, creative, and enticing dish. If I had a fork right now I’d want to dig into the dish I’m viewing on my phone right now. Such a fun dish for my kiddies too. I’m sure smiling big right now :-D. I really should cook with carrots more, but I’m ashamed to say I don’t. I love carrots anything, especially a nice tall refreshing sweet glass of carrot juice, but I have to admit I dislike carrot cake. I don’t know why though. Thank you for sharing another wonderful recipe.
