Great recipe! , I added a dash of lime juice and a pinch of fresh grated ginger along with about a teasp of cornstarch as a thickener to make kind of a glaze and it was outstanding,

Just made this recipe today. It's excellent and very simple. I added a tiny bit of onion powder to the carrots because my family likes that extra bit of flavor. Definitely a keeper!
