CRISPY ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
• Cut peeled carrots into 2-inch pieces. Then, slice them vertically in half to make thinner carrot sticks. If the carrot piece is very wide, cut in quarters so that all the carrots are a similar size.
• Toss the cut carrots into a medium mixing bowl and toss in the rest of the ingredients. Massage the carrots with your hands until evenly coated.
• Place the carrots onto the baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd it. Bake for 30-minutes, and then mix up the carrots with a spatula. Place back in the oven for 10 more minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove from the oven and serve warm.

CRISPY BEEF WITH CARROTS AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• For the rice: To a small saucepan, add the rice and 2 cups of water. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the skirt steak and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Chill for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup cornstarch with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the skirt steak in the cornstarch mixture and coat well. Transfer the coated meat to a fine sieve and knock off any excess cornstarch.
• Heat 1 cup canola oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add half of the beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes longer; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining skirt steak. Carefully discard the hot oil and wipe the skillet clean.
• To a small bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, mirin, red wine vinegar, ginger, crushed red pepper, garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix to combine.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the snow peas and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute until the liquid starts to thicken. Add the crispy skirt steak and toss until fully coated. If the sauce looks too thick, you can add 1/4 cup water to thin it out. Serve over rice and garnish with scallion greens.
