Directions

  1. Peel the carrots, cut them into 5 cm pieces, and then into 3 mm sticks. If you are using dried chili peppers, soak them in water. Remove the stem and seeds, and then finely chop the pepper into slices about 2 mm thick.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and add the carrots. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly browned.
  3. Remove the lid once the carrots are cooked but still firm. Add the sugar, salty soy sauce, and chili pepper, then simmer over medium heat until all the liquid has evaporated. ≈ 3 min
