3 reasons why carrot noodles are your next family obsession
No matter which of the following tools you use, you’ll want to create uniform, long, slender pieces of carrot to create your noodles.
You can julienne the carrots by hand using a sharp knife, however, it’s time consuming. Here are your best options for prepping perfect carrot noodles:
Straight-edge peeler: This is the most common type of vegetable peeler found in almost every kitchen. Using this will give you wide, thin strips of carrots, and will help the carrots retain some crunch when cooked. Julienne peeler: This type of peeler will produce thin strips of carrot. The blades shave the carrot evenly, to give long spaghetti-like noodles that become soft and extra noodle-y when they’re cooked. Mandolin: The mandolin will also do the trick! You’ll cut the carrot in half and place it on the food guard and run the carrot up and down the blade. This will give you thin, julienned carrots. Spiralizer: Using a spiralizer for the your carrot noodles will produce ribbons of carrots in no time. It’s also a good choice.
Cooking up a whole spread? Here are some ideas of what to serve with your carrot noodles side dish:
Lemongrass Vietnamese Meatballs Cashew chicken or try using your preferred cut of chicken and this Thai marinade Ginger rice or coconut rice And for dessert, matcha cookies or chewy peanut butter cookies
