Thinly slice 2 large carrots diagonally, stack them, and cut into thin strips. (Key Tip! Leaving some pieces uneven in size, or thicker parts, creates textural accents.)

Heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil in a frying pan and slowly stir-fry the julienned carrots over low heat.

Continue to stir-fry slowly until the carrots have reduced by half to one-third their original volume, become tender, and their sweetness is fully developed. (Key Tip! It's crucial to stir-fry until the carrots lose their bitterness and become truly sweet.)

Once the carrots are sufficiently sweet, add 1 pinch of salt (or to taste) and mix briefly. (Key Tip! Use a small amount of salt to maximize the carrots' natural sweetness.)

Turn off the heat and add toasted white sesame seeds (to taste), rubbing them between your fingers as you add them to release their aroma. (Key Tip! Rubbing the sesame seeds releases more fragrance.)

Let it cool slightly and serve. (Key Tip! If storing, allow to cool completely before refrigerating.)
