Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 3 pieces shallots
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 pieces bird's eye chilies (optional)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 50 milliliters water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin matchstick-sized strips, about 5 cm in length.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots and garlic. If using bird's eye chilies, slice them thinly as well.
Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat.
Add the sliced shallots, garlic, and chilies (if using) to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Pour in the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), salt, and sugar. Stir until the carrots are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Add the water to the pan to help the carrots cook through. Stir and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but still slightly crunchy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a touch more salt, sugar, or soy sauce to suit your preference.
Turn off the heat and transfer the Oseng Oseng Wortel to a serving dish.
Serve warm as a side dish with steamed rice and other Indonesian dishes.
