• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 1 can sliced baby carrots
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• salt

directions

1. Cut up carrot and boil in water until it's almost soft.
2. Discard most of the water (like, leaving only a table spoonful or two) and add a little sugar and butter. Continue boiling until the carrot is soft.
3. They are just regular carrots, and you don't have to use a lot of sugar. Carrots are naturally sweet when boiled; a little butter makes the sweetness more noticeable.Serve hot with rice.

I really enjoyed these - quick and easy; and yes! It did taste like the carrots I love when I get Japanese take-out. I used a 14.5 oz can of sliced carrots, since I wasn't quite certain if the poster used canned carrots or chopped up a cup of baby carrots. Either way, it worked out well since I was busy chopping for the fried rice. :) Thanks for posting!
