Ingredients

one 6” piece Emerald Cove Pacific Kombu
2 quarts water
½ lb carrots
½ tsp fresh grated ginger
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Emperor’s Kitchen Organic Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

Rinse kombu briefly under fresh running water and wipe with a damp cloth. Simmer water and kombu on low heat for 10 minutes.
Cut carrots into thin strips 1½ inch long. Sauté carrots and ginger in oil for 5 minutes over medium heat.
Remove kombu from water and slice into 1½ inch strips (you may save cooking water for use as a soup stock).
Add kombu and soy sauce to carrots. Turn heat to low, cover, and simmer 6 minutes. Roast sesame seeds in a small, dry skillet until golden brown and stir into vegetables.
