For a deeper ginger flavor, try using freshly grated ginger instead of ground. Start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to your liking. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a lovely warmth to the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a pop of color and herbaceousness. Consider roasting the carrots for more caramelized flavor.
