Hot & Sour Carrots
From EatingWell: September/October 2009
The hot-and-sour sauce on these quick sautéed carrots is not for the timid palate. They have an abundance of bold, spicy flavor. Try them with steamed white fish and brown rice.

- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon black bean-garlic sauce (see Note)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound carrots (5-6 medium), cut lengthwise into 3-by-1/4-inch sticks
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
Preparation
- Combine vinegar and black bean-garlic sauce in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add carrots, onion and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sauce and cook, stirring, until the vinegar has evaporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Tips & Notes
- Ingredient Note: Black bean-garlic sauce, a savory, salty sauce used in Chinese cooking, is made from fermented black soybeans, garlic and rice wine. Find it in the Asian-foods section of most supermarkets or at Asian markets. Refrigerate for up to 1 year.
