Steps:

STIR-FRIED BALSAMIC GINGER CARROTS
The carrots need to be cut as uniformly as possible so that all the vegetables cook in the same amount of time. If the carrots are skinny (about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter), simply cut them into 2-inch pieces; if they're medium (about 1 inch in diameter), cut lengthwise in half before cutting into 2-inch pieces; if they're large (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), quarter lengthwise before cutting into 2-inch pieces. Blanching the carrots reduces the amount of oil necessary to stir-fry. Mince the ginger by hand; if you use a grater or microplane, the ginger will be too wet and will spatter in the oil.

Steps:
- In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil over high heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the carrots and return to a full boil, about 5 minutes. Boil for 2 additional minutes. Drain the carrots in a colander, shaking well to remove excess water. Combine the vinegar, sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the sugar, pepper and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small dish.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the ginger and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the ginger is fragrant. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are well coated in oil and ginger. Swirl the vinegar mixture into the wok, sprinkle with the sugar mixture, and stir-fry for 1 minute, until the carrots are crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chives.

Steps:
- For the raw vegetables: Peel ½-inch piece of the ginger and slice into thin matchsticks (about 1 teaspoon). In a bowl, add the cabbage, ginger, lime juice, salt, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix to combine and place in a serving bowl.
- For the stir-fry: Peel and mince the remaining piece of ginger to yield about 2 teaspoons. Set aside. Heat skillet on high until hot then add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the vegetables in the order that they will take to cook, starting with the carrots. Stir, then add the cauliflower, stir again, and season with salt. Add the zucchini followed by the remaining vegetables; choy sum, kale, and bok choy. Add a handful of water to steam the vegetables (this will speed up the cooking), and continue stirring. When the vegetables are green and vibrant, add the ginger, garlic and chili pepper flakes. Finish with remaining tablespoon rice vinegar and soy sauce. Stir then place on top of the cabbage mixture. Garnish with freshly torn mint, sliced radish, lime wedges and salt. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose vibrant rainbow carrots: Look for carrots with bright, насыщенный colors for the most visually appealing stir-fry.
- Prep your carrots properly: Peel and cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet allows for even heat distribution and quick cooking.
- Heat your oil over high heat: High heat helps to sear the carrots and create a slightly charred flavor.
- Add your carrots and stir-fry: Stir-fry the carrots for a few minutes, until they start to soften and turn slightly tender.
- Add your sauce and other ingredients: Once the carrots are tender, add your desired sauce and any additional ingredients, such as bell peppers, onions, or snap peas.
- Stir-fry until the sauce thickens: Continue to stir-fry until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately: Rainbow carrot stir-fry is best served immediately, while the vegetables are still crisp-tender and the sauce is hot.
