Cut the carrots into strips using a vegetable peeler (down to the hard inner core) and cook in a bamboo steamer until al dente (approx. 10-15 minutes). Place the cooked carrot strips in a bowl and marinate while still warm with linseed oil, salt, rice vinegar, and liquid smoke. Place the nori sheet in a sealable glass container, add the marinated carrot strips, and seal the container. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least two days, stirring occasionally. Tips: Cook and marinate the hard inner core of the carrots. Use for vegan sushi or fake salmon cream. Instead of regular salt, you can also use smoked salt, but then reduce the amount of liquid smoke. Add seaweed to the cooking water; this will allow the carrots to absorb some of the fish flavor during the cooking process.
