Spiral "Hot Pot"

So you a bought Spiralizer and you've tried all (or most) of the recipes in the included cookbook but a lot of them didn't seem so healthy or were pretty labor-intensive.

I feel your pain, so...

I'm busting out an easy Food Truth recipe for spiralized veggies I call "Spiral Hot Pot". Not that I really know a thing about Korean cooking but from an American girl's perspective, it's close enough.

WHAT

Zucchini, carrots and daikon radish (see below)

1 can organic, full fat coconut milk

4 sliced garlic cloves (or more to taste)

1 chopped and seeded jalapeno pepper

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

OPTIONAL: 1 - 2 cups cooked chicken or beef

salt and pepper to taste

toasted cashews

HOW

Use the medium blade (not too thin & not too thick, Red Riding Hood) to spiralize the zucchini, carrots and daikon radish to make 2 cups of each.  As you finish each vegetable, place in a glass bowl and microwave for 1 - 2 minutes just to soften slightly.

Yes, I said MICROWAVE. If you're a hippie and that scares you, ask yourself if you have wifi in your house or a cell phone. THAT should scare you more.

Next, warm the coconut milk and garlic cloves in a medium saucepan. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat until garlic is slightly softened, then add chopped jalapeno and cilantro and cook a minute more.

Toss with (drained) vegetables and cooked meat (or not). Season with salt and pepper, top with toasted cashews and serve.

Yes, it's that simple. And that good.
