Pro tip: If your knife skills are marginal, cut up the carrots into match sticks the day before to keep this a 30 minute meal! We have not found a kitchen utensil that can create matchstick carrots efficiently. We find mandolins take more time to clean than time saved cutting. Have a trick that creates matchstick carrots efficiently, please share in the comments.
Turn it into Trader Joe’s Thai dumpling soup
Pro Tip- In the mood for Thai? This soup easily transforms into a simple Thai soup. Follow the directions as they are presented, just add a half red pepper sliced into bite sized pieces, a teaspoon of fish sauce, a dicedThai chili pepper (optional) and 15 ounces of coconut milk.
