True to its name this is a very easy carrot salad flavored with sesame oil. I found the recipe at justbento.com The salad stays fresh and crunchy even to the next day after making. In fact, the flavor mellows if you let it rest awhile.

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 medium carrots
3/4 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch salt
1 dash soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon dark sesame oil (toasted)
roughly chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

1
Peel the carrots and shred them with a coarse grater.
2
Put in a bowl with the chopped parsley. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
3
The flavor mellows if you can let it rest for an hour or more (overnight is good).
4
Drain off some of the juice when serving. The leftover juice is very tasty ad could be added to a green salad as dressing.
5
VARIATIONS;.
6
Add a tablespoon or so of toasted sesame seeds.
7
Add some julienned red chili pepper for a spicy version.
8
If you have access to an Japanese grocery, you can substitute dashi granules or konbu powder for the salt. You can substitute ponzu (a citrusy vinegar/condiment that makes a great salad dressing base) for the lemon juice.
