Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4-1/3 cup honey (depending on how sweet your carrots are)
  • 1 medium hand of ginger
  • black sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

  1. The sauce needs to simmer for a while, so start that first. Pour the OJ, wine, and honey into a small saucepan.
  2. Cut up your ginger into pieces about 1 cm thick.
  3. Don surgical gloves and, if necessary, biohazard suit. hehe
  4. Cut habaneros into 1 cm chunks as well.
  5. Put the ginger and habaneros in the saucepan with the OJ mixture. Simmer while we prep the carrots.
  6. Peel as many carrots as you want to use. I went with four.
  7. Cut on a heavy bias.
  8. Try to use a cast iron wok.
  9. Pour some peanut (or other high smoke point) oil into the wok.
  10. Split a thumb-sized piece of ginger and put it in the oil, then crank up the heat.
  11. Woks require pretty much the highest heat you can manage. I
  12. Let the ginger fry until it's nicely browned.
  13. This will infuse the oil with ginger, adding another dimension of flavor to the finished dish.
  14. While the ginger fries, make a slurry from one tablespoon corn starch and two tablespoons water.
  15. Add it to your sauce, stirring constantly for a minute or two.
  16. You can let it steep for a while, or immediately drain through a sieve.
  17. Once the ginger is nice and toasty, yank it and let the oil get to nearly-smoking.
  18. Then start stir-frying your carrots.
  19. Cook for several minutes, until the thinnest pieces start to burn slightly.
  20. Remove to a bowl for saucing.
  21. You could also allow the carrots to cool, as they make an excellent cold salad as well.
  22. The glaze is POTENT and should be used with appropriate caution.
  23. Plate your Ginger-Habanero Glazed Carrots, garnish with black sesame seeds.
