I think everyone has had steamed carrots as a side dish at one time or another. It can get a little boring.
These carrots add a little something more to take away the boring.
I steamed the carrots as I normally would. The end result was a carrot that was just a bit soft, but still firm enough to stay on your fork without falling apart.
The sauce is interesting, with a lot of flavor.
Admittedly, I would have added just a touch more salt, but the pepper level is nice.
The sugar blends into the other ingredients and melts away. You get a small amount of sweetness, but not too much.
The vinegar adds the little kick that make the sauce truly special.
Blended all together you get a carrot that has great flavor, and something different!
