I just melt some chocolate truffle I have at home for the chocolate dip! You could just serve it with Nutella, which it's more delicious in my opinion. Hehe One can never have enough of Nutella. Am I right?

1 Teaspoon of Oil

(3) Pour in Mirin and toss the carrots around on high heat for a minute, then put the lid on to cook for 2-3 minutes or until it's soften. 

You may add on a few tb spoons of water if it seems to be dry and carrots still remained uncooked.
