Kimpira is a classic Japanese family recipe. Served as an appetizer or side dish, it goes wonderfully well with rice and can be stored in a cool place for several days.

It's a technique in which vegetables are sautéed and then simmered in a sweet and sour mixture with a little sesame.

Here's a recipe for carrot kimpira. Easy to prepare, this vegetarian dish is an alternative to traditional grated carrot recipes.

Instructions

Carefully wash and dry the carrots. Peel them, then cut into regular sections to ensure even cooking. For a more elegant presentation, you can cut them into thin sticks, slices or julienne strips, as you prefer.
Heat the sesame oil in a frying pan or sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to simmer, add the carrots and sauté for three to four minutes, stirring regularly. They should become slightly tender, but still retain a little crunch.
Once the carrots are lightly browned, add the sake, mirin, honey and soy sauce in that order. Stir gently to coat the carrots and simmer over medium heat for about three minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly and becomes syrupy.
When the carrots are well coated and shiny, remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with a pinch of black or white sesame seeds for added crunch and fragrance.
Serve immediately, piping hot, with a dish or bowl of steamed rice.

Recipe notes

Kimpira is always served with plain rice, as it is quite salty. There are many recipes for kimpira, and you can find the recipe for potato kimpira in our iRASSHAi recipe catalog!

LE MIRIN

Mirin is a sweet rice wine and a key ingredient in Japanese cuisine! Its taste is similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content.

There are 3 types to choose from:

Hon mirin contains 14% alcohol and is fermented for 40 to 60 days.

Shio mirin contains 1.5% salt or more.

Shin mirin is similar in taste to hon mirin, but with only 1% alcohol.

It is used in most Japanese recipes: to season meats, in noodle dishes, in salads and much more!

JAPANESE SESAME

Sesame is generally very present in Asian cuisine. Japanese sesame, also known as "goma" in Japan, plays an important role in Japanese cuisine. There are two types of sesame used in Japan. There is white sesame (shirogoma) and black sesame (kurogoma). White sesame is more commonly used, while black sesame is appreciated for its more intense flavor.

WHERE DOES JAPANESE SESAME COME FROM?

The main production regions are Kyushu, Shikoku and the Kansai region. The climatic conditions and soils of these regions are ideal for growing sesame.

USE

Sesame is used as a seasoning, garnish or main ingredient in many dishes, including salads, noodles and, of course, green beans with sesame seeds.
