Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 10 carrots, ends trimmed to make hot dog-size shape
• 0.25 cup sesame oil
• 0.5 cup rice vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Run cold water over carrots to stop the cooking process. Transfer carrots to a storage container.

Step 2

Whisk soy sauce, water, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and pepper together in a bowl; pour over carrots. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or longer for a more intense flavor.

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove carrots from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 4

Cook carrots on the preheated grill until the desired doneness is reached, 5 to 10 minutes.
