If you wanted to do a juleiene type strip, or a half round shape for stir fry, you would score your vegetable along the sides before you ran it through the tri blade cutter.
I am going to make Dak Galbi, and jab chae later, and will try some of the different blades/cuts, and report back to you. I did stir fry my zucchini noodles, but left them long.
I use my mandoline a lot for julienne strips for stir frying, but I think a similar result could be obtained with the one blade on the tri blade cutter.
Here’s some photos of different veggies sliced, and prepared. The bottom left is a stir fyr. They all look delicious to me.
“I use my mandoline a lot for julienne strips for stir frying...”
Afraid I’d end up stir frying my arm if I used a mandoline. Staying away from that one.
“If you wanted to do a juleiene type strip, or a half round shape for stir fry, you would score your vegetable along the sides before you ran it through the tri blade cutter.”
How do you mean to score? Explain how you would score a zucchini to give me an idea of what you mean.
By score the zucchini, I mean you would make a lengthwise cut about 3/8" inch deep on each side of the zucchini to get C shaped strips, or you could make those cuts spaced one third around the zucchini for a shorter strip.
Here's my Dak Galbi stir fry, with some leftover sweet potato in the background. That's a 6" x 6" bowl, btw. The sweet potato was really good.
I never got around to making my jab chae as when I cut up the vegetables with the zoodler, it was more than I could eat.
We have that release problem here with respect to dogs and cats. People relaese them close to our subdivision, and they find their way over.
The county has no animal control, and we live outside the city limits, so we are on our own. Some of them get adopted by one or the other of the neighbors. The rest of the dogs wind up dead on the highway at the bottom of our hill.
We have several ferral cats that catch squirrels, and seem to know better than to get out on the highway.
I watched the old brown gigantic lab poop about a yard away from my patio garden today. He sauntered all around my patio. Off leash which is against the rules.
However the developer of the subdivision sold his house and moved, and a homeowners association never formed, so this relative newbie guy probably never even read the rules when he bought his house. He’s about the 5th person to have lived there, and he just lets his dogs out to do their duty, and they roam the neighborhood.
If we go out to our front yard, he and his buddy come running and barking, and he is not friendly. His owner says oh he would never bite. Baloney. I know enough about dogs to know that if you looked at him and reached out to pet him he’d bite. Their hound on the other hand is just down right friendly. He already got hit by a car.
The old brown dog shouldn’t last too much longer, he’s getting really old. No one wants to be a jerk, so no one talks to him about the problem. I did tell him that his dog was scaring my grand daughter every time she got on and off the bus as a reply to his comment that the dog would not ever hurt anyone.
He did bite my dog, but my dog started it. She escaped the fenced in area one morning and went after him on our property. He’s so much bigger than she is, she’s lucky she wasn’t hurt worse.
That’s interesting. My sister had to have her carotid artery cleaned out. She had the most renowned surgeon for this and heart valve repair in our area. No problems, and it did seem to help her too.
Interesting about the eyesight. I have been having headaches and some vision issues, and had speculated that it might be carotid arteries, but that hasn’t been checked yet.
Thanks for posting that. I love that cookbook, by the way.
That’s so fantastic. I used to enjoy collecting eggs when I was a girl visiting my granny’s farm. I was always kinda scared that I might accidentally grab a snake, though.
I would kinda like to have some chickens, but in weather like this, I am glad that I don’t have to get out and take care of livestock.
Wrens are supposed to be a good bird to help keep away the other birds that might steal your berries. They prefer bugs, and are territorial. What I read was to put up wren houses around your berry patches.
Get rid of bugs and pesty birds. A twofer.
I put up old shiny computer disks and old aluminum pie pans on string. I also staked shiny pinwheels around the garden perimeter. It seemed to help. We also put up nets and wren houses.
We’ve had nothing but ice, snow, snain, and drizzle all week. My daughter’s company put them up in St. Louis on Tuesday, so she didn’t have to fight the weather and traffic that day. One of the days, it was a 5 hour commute.
Grand Daughter has kept me busy all week. I have kinda lost track, but I think we are now at 20 days of school closure due to weather.
I don’t think I’ll be in too big a hurry to start seeds this year. I am betting that we’ll get one of those March or April snow dustings.
Some plants don’t like to have light on their roots. Hubby the biologist insists that you should cover the see through materials. I like to use the paper cups myself, I just snip one side, and across the diameter of the bottom and stick it in the ground. Sometimes, I just leave the cup on, and let the roots grow out through the hole that I tear off the bottom.
I think possums look just like large rats! They don’t run when you try to scare them off either, and that’s annoying.
We have live trapped a few and turned them loose on the Twenty Two.
They loved to eat the persimmons. I don’t mind sharing, but they were hogs.
Good Grief, the kids will be going to school until July 4th to make up all those snow days. Hope your feet are staying warm.
I couldn't stand being inside anymore. I went out and planted spinach and lettuce this morning. I also transplanted some chinese cabbage..not into the regular garden, but in the greenhouse where it was 42 degrees.
Everything was coated with ice. My deck is treacherous, but even the lawn was slippery.
Oh, I just checked the temperature. You know it’s been in the twenties too long when 32 F seems warm..I thought we must be close to 40.
