Sweet and Sour Carrot Stir-Fry over Jasmine Rice tastes just as good as it looks. This is guest-worthy food too, as long as your friends like tofu. And isn’t it nice to feature carrots once in a while? They’re such a beautiful color and of course, healthy. You can substitute the sliced carrots with baby-cut carrots if you like, to minimize your preparation time. For us, however, we haven’t found a baby-cut carrot that we like better than regular-size carrots, so we take the extra couple of minutes to scrub and slice regular carrots.
