STEP 1

If you are using finely shredded carrots, you can skip this step. But if you’re using thicker, pre-shredded carrots, place the carrots in a plastic bag or a microwave-safe bowl and steam them for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly.

STEP 2

Chop the cilantro and peanuts into a very fine dice. I use my trusty Kuhn Rikon pull chop which I love and it works on all of these equally well.
