Instructions

Shave: Using either a vegetable peeler or a mandolin slicer (set to the thinnest setting), thinly slice carrots lengthwise into long strips.
Boiling Water: Heat about 4 extra cups of water to a boil (either in a kettle or on the stove). Set aside.
Broth: Add rice vinegar, ¼ cup water, soy sauce, dill, nori, capers, and liquid smoke to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then add shaved carrots. If carrots are not fully submerged, add just enough of the boiling water to cover the carrots.
Boil: Cook carrots in boiling broth for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let carrots sit in the broth for an additional 20 minutes.
Serve: Strain carrots from the broth, then serve on a cream cheese bagel with a sprinkle of capers!

Notes

Storage: If you have leftovers of this lox, lucky you! These brined carrots will last 10 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
