Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot.

seeds from popping out of the skillet. Shake the pan gently over the heat
until the popping subsides, about 10 seconds.
Uncover the pan and add the ginger and the chiles. Cook, stirring for about
1 minute until the chiles soften. Stir in the carrots and continue to cook,
stirring frequently, until the carrots turn bright orange and are slightly
softened. Stir in the lime juice, sugar, and salt and cook for another
minute. Stir in the mint, and remove the pan from the heat. Taste and
season as desired with more salt, lime juice, and mint. Serve cool, but not
cold.
