Ingredients

4 large carrots

2 large onions

2-3 cups Canola oil

Soy sauce

Crushed chili peppers

Preparation

1. Slice the carrots into julienne (2mm x 2mm) strips. A spiral vegetable slicer or a mandolin can make this step much easier. Place the carrots into a mixing bowl that can withstand hot oil.

2. Add crushed chili peppers and soy sauce to taste, mix thoroughly, and set the bowl aside.

3. Slice the onions into eighths.

4. Place the onions in a pot and cover with oil.

5. On maximum heat, cook the onions until they are brown and about to burn. Make sure not to let them burn or it will ruin the oil and you will have to start over with fresh oil and onions.

6. Using a metal mesh strainer to catch the onions, pour the hot oil over the carrots and dispose of the onions.

7. Leave to marinate for a few hours or overnight.

8. Drain as much oil as possible prior to serving.
