Steps:

• Shred carrots with a hand grater or in a food processor fitted with grating attachment. Place carrots in a large bowl with next 4 ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients until blended. Pour dressing over the carrot mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Heat sesame oil in skillet on medium-high heat; add carrots, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, juice (or water) and ginger root. Reduce heat, cover and cook at a simmer and stir until carrots are crisp-tender (depends how small your carrot slices are).
• Stir in the honey. Stir in well and cook until heated through.
• Top with the sesame seeds. Season with pepper and salt, if needed.

Steps:

• Special equipment: a mortar and pestle or spice grinder
• For the gomasio: In a dry saute pan set over medium heat, cook the sesame seeds until toasted a light brown. Remove to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Add the sea salt and crush until about half the seeds are crushed.
• For the carrots: Using a vegetable peeler, shaved the carrots into ribbons. In a large bowl, mix the carrot ribbons with the sesame oil, black sesame seeds, coriander and 1 tablespoon of the gomasio.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha and curry powder. Mix well then smear on a plate. Top with the carrot ribbons and garnish with more gomasio.

Steps:

• Add the sesame seeds to a small dry skillet over medium-high heat and toast until browned, about 2 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning. Transfer to a small dish and set aside.
• Add the carrots, 1/2 cup water, hoisin, butter and some salt and pepper to a large skillet over medium-high heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook until the carrots are tender when pierced easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to a glaze, up to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, fold in the scallions and sesame seeds and toss until all is coated in the glaze. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Boil/steam sliced carrots until just tender; drain.
• In a medium saucepan, bring water, brown sugar, butter, sesame seeds, lemon juice and salt to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat.
• Add hot cooked carrot slices and stir until evenly coated. Serve.
