Istruzioni

1

Prepare boiling and ice water

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water for blanching.

Blanching vegetables in boiling water and then cooling them in ice water helps retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.

2

Blanch the carrots

Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.

Cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
