In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned carrots and minced garlic
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and crushed red pepper flakes until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Garnish and Serve:
Before serving, sprinkle the salad with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a final touch of flavor and crunch.
