Even if the jicama looks clean, it’s a good idea to rinse off dust and dirt before you start peeling and cutting them so they don’t’ contaminate anything.

The top of the jicama has a small knot on it where the root was originally attached.

Be careful not to hold the jicama with your hand in front of the blade so you don’t accidentally cut yourself.

You could also add some cooked pork, chicken, steak, or tofu to the stir fry for some extra protein. Use olive oil instead of vegetable oil for a healthier option.

Stir the ingredients every 15 minutes to keep them from sticking and to help them cook evenly.

The casserole will be super hot when it finishes, so use potholders to take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before you serve it.

Cut all of the jicama into even sticks.

If you want a spicy kick, sprinkle some cayenne or red pepper flakes over your fries!
