Ingredients
- 5-6 stalks celery
- 2 medium carrots
Asian Carrot-Celery Slaw Seasonings:
- ¼ to ½ tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Small pinch white pepper
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Season the water with a pinch of salt.
- In the meantime, prepare celery and carrots.
- For celery, cut off the base and leaves, then wash the stalks under running water. Use a peeler to remove any fibrous and tough strings. Dice them to about 2.5 to 3-inch length sections then slice lengthwise to matchstick shape.
- For carrots, slice them diagonally into thin slices (a little thicker than 1/8-inch thick). Stack 2-3 slices a time on top of each other, then cut through the layers to create matchsticks.
- Blanch celery and carrot matchsticks in hot boiling water for about 1 minute.
- Quickly rinse them under cold or ice cold water to stop cooking and preserve the vibrant color.
- Drain and shake excess water from the vegetables before adding them to a large bowl.
- Stir to coat seasonings from salt to white pepper.
- Toss well and set aside for 30 minutes to develop the flavor or best marinate overnight. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving. Best serve chilled.
