Glazed Ginger Carrots

Submitted by Oolala

"My recipe differs from the others posted due to the soy sauce and OJ. No honey here but there is brown sugar. I found this smudged recipe card in my box and remember it from long ago! I'm glad to post this and now that I am thinking about it, I think my kids will like it."

This was delicious - I substituted toasted sesame oil for the butter and sliced the carrots into matchsticks before blanching them. Done like that, it reminded me of the ginger-soy carrots from Trader Joe's. Delicious.

These carrots are spunkier than the plain old brown sugar and butter glazed carrots. The flavors balance well. Easy to make, too! Thanx for sharing. We will enjoy these again.

These were very good, but the soy sauce was a little overpowering for my tastes. If I make these again, I'll probably cut the soy in half.
