This was fantastic. A little tangy from the pineapple juice, a little warmth from the ginger, and a whole lot of delicious. I added water at first, and then I found a can of pineapple in the pantry, so I opened it and added in the pineapple juice. Mine had a thinner sauce as a result but I would do it the same way next time I fix this, as the liquid was evaporating as the carrots cooked and it was going to need a little anyway. I did use powdered ginger and added some cracked black pepper at the end and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Don't sleep on this winner. These carrots were fabulous.

These were quite surprising and delicious. I omitted the honey for our tastes and really enjoyed the balance of sweet from the hoisin against tart from the orange.

If you like Asian food don't pass up these carrots. They are so full of flavor and easy to make. I love the flavor of sesame oil. I did not use any salt or pepper as they were perfect without it. Made for *ZWT 6* I'm on Team *Ya Ya Cookerhood*
