STIR-FRIED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH SPICY PORK
I based this on a Cantonese dish my dad would make when I was growing up. He would take hours chopping, dicing and slicing and then throw it all into a boiling hot wok and dinner would be served within two minutes. I think he loved the cinema of this type of cooking. I miss him and the dish so much that I came up with a simplified weeknight version of it. Don't like spicy food? Simply omit the red pepper flakes. Serve this with bowls of steamed rice.

Steps:
- Cook the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, break the pork into small pieces, add the pork in an even layer and season generously with salt and the red pepper flakes. Brown and cook the pork until the pink is gone, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and finish: Stir in the garlic, carrots and parsnips and continue stirring and cooking until the vegetables are tender and mixed in, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, peas and vinegar with the hoisin. Shut off the heat and taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Stir in the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately, with cooked rice if desired.

Steps:
- Place a wire rack on a large, rimmed baking sheet and line the rack with 2 layers of paper towels. Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large saucepan until the oil registers 325° on a deep-fry thermometer. Meanwhile, using a sturdy Y-shaped vegetable peeler, shave the parsnips lengthwise into ribbons, moving around on 4 sides of the vegetable, stopping when you reach the tough inner cores of the parsnips.
- Working in 5 or 6 batches, carefully drop handfuls of the parsnip ribbons into the hot oil and cook the ribbons over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the ribbons turn a deep honey color, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon or Chinese wire-and-bamboo skimmer, transfer the parsnips to the paper towels and sprinkle with salt and either peppers. Let cool completely, then transfer to a large platter.

Tips:
- Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips with no blemishes or bruises.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you create thin, even ribbons.
- Soak the parsnip ribbons in cold water: This will help to remove the starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Dry the parsnip ribbons thoroughly: This will help them to crisp up in the pan.
- Use a high-quality oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the parsnip ribbons from cooking evenly.
- Cook the parsnip ribbons until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Season the parsnip ribbons to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
Conclusion:
Fried parsnip ribbons are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy parsnips, try frying them up into crispy ribbons. You won't be disappointed!
