Why this recipe works
- Thin ribbons absorb dressing quickly while staying crisp.
- Rice vinegar and lime balance the sesame oil and honey.
- A short rest softens the ribbons just enough without making them limp.
Practical substitutions
These are conservative alternatives based on standard kitchen practice; results may vary from the original recipe.
- Tamari can replace soy sauce when needed.
- Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan salad.
Troubleshooting
- The salad is watery
- Dry the carrots after washing and serve soon after the resting time.
- The dressing is too sharp
- Add a small amount of honey and sesame oil, then taste again.
Storage and freezing
- Refrigerate covered for up to two days, although the ribbons are crispest on the first day.
- Stir before serving because the dressing settles at the bottom.
