Glazed Carrots Asian Style

Ingredients

• 6 large carrots, halved
• 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
• 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to boil, add the carrots and parboil for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

In a large glass dish, combine the remaining ingredients. Add the carrots and marinate for 30 minutes.

Prepare an outdoor grill with an oiled rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Using a oiled wire hinged vegetable basket or just directly on the rack ( whichever you find easier), grill the carrots, turning constantly for a total of 10 minutes, until slightly charred.
