Nutrition Facts : Calories 48, Fat 1.4, SaturatedFat 0.1, Sodium 268.2, Carbohydrate 7.9, Fiber 2.9, Sugar 3.6, Protein 1.9

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender carrots and spinach: Look for carrots with smooth, unblemished skin and deep orange color. Choose spinach that is dark green and has no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Prepare the vegetables properly: Peel and cut the carrots into thin strips or slices. Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow the vegetables to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and create a slightly caramelized flavor.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir the vegetables constantly: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add the sauce or seasoning towards the end of cooking: This will help to preserve the flavor and prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately: This is when it is at its best, with crisp-tender vegetables and a flavorful sauce.
