I always add carrot flowers to simmered dishes. I tried adding one to a bento box and it was very cute, so I've been doing it ever since.

In Step 3, if you cut in from the base of your knife and draw it towards you in one smooth motion as if you're cutting sashimi, the slice will be nice and tidy. Recipe by kana-bun
