Cook’s Tips:
The Veggie Strip Maker can create either short or long strips. For this recipe, grate the vegetables into long strips by holding them parallel to the surface grates. Use long strokes instead of short strokes. See step 3.
You may use leftover coconut milk in smoothies or stir it into oatmeal. Freeze in Herb Freezing Tray until ready to use.
You may add 12 oz (350 g) diced cooked chicken to the stir-fry.
