Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and minced
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons miso
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method
 

  1. Heat canola oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and sauté until soft, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add ginger and carrots to the pan.
  4. Cover and cook until carrots are very soft, about 15 minutes.
  5. Transfer the cooked mixture to a food processor and add the miso, tahini, and water.
  6. Puree until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve immediately, tossed with your favorite pasta, soba, udon noodles, or rice. Enjoy!

Notes

- For a smoother sauce, ensure the carrots are very tender before pureeing. If they're still a bit firm, add a tablespoon or two more water and continue cooking.
- If the sauce seems too thick after blending, you can thin it with a little extra water or vegetable broth until it reaches your desired consistency.
- This carrot ginger sauce stores beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It also freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stovetop.
