I like jicama better with nothing on it. I dont know why.

I can understand why. I tasted a slice for the first time when I was cutting them up the other day. It tastes like apple, but not as sweet. I was surprised. I expected more of a potato if anything. It was juicy too. I could've eaten it just like that, but I already had it fixed in my mind to season them bad boys.

I made some spring rolls today from the Joy of Living Live book I mentioned earlier. They were so good! I whipped up the sweet and sour sauce too. My uncle wants to take some to share with his employees tomorrow. I think he might put them into regular rotation on his menu.  Smiley

They were soooo good! My uncle kept raving about them and wore them suckas out too! LOL He'd joked that he hoped his employees wouldn't like them so they wouldn't be asking for them. So this evening he said, "I was so disappointed today...they loved them! They asked me where I bought them. So we got into this whole discourse on raw foods." I was like whatchu know about some raw foods?? LOL

Here's [my variation of] the recipe:

1/2 cup walnut oil
1/4 cup nama shoyu
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 red onion thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
about an inch of ginger, grated
1 medium head of cabbage, shredded
3 carrots, shredded
1 cup walnuts, ran though a food processor
Rice paper wraps (dry)

So I mixed up all these ingredients except the rice paper. Moistened a sheet of rice paper in warm water for about thirty seconds. Spooned on some of the mixture and wrapped them up. Now that was good enough all by itself....however....

Sweet n Sour Sauce:
2 lemons, juiced
4 teaspoons nama shoyu
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 cup fresh pineapple
2 teaspoons arrow root powder
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Blend it all up and let it thicken in the fridge for about an hour....about as long as it took me to dice, chop, mix and fold the spring rolls. Soooo yummy all together! This raw thing is really fun!  Cheesy

Now I have heard negative things about cabbage, onions, and garlic. But I figure heck I gotta start somewhere! lol

Wow thanks, yummy. I might make some for my parents when I go to visit them soon. If I ever use this recipe somewhere in public, I will be sure to give you credit since it is your variation. I just started a biz doing raw food classes and things of that nature.

Thanks! Yes, I am loving it. I feel like I'm in line more with my purpose and the creativity flows much better. Also since I strated, I am attracting so many people into my life who want/need exactly what I offer. It's a beautiful thing.
