Apple Jicama Coleslaw Recipe - Spicy Apple Jicama Slaw

[MrCervantesx69st]

Jicama is so good with some lemon and chilli powder! And i do believe you pronounce it the way you call it.

[NathonChinister234]

YOu can eat the jicama raw

[TheANBart]

I hope I'll find where to buy Jicama in Czech republic... i highly doubt I actually will though.

[orlendatube]

what is a corn nut????

[TheSooz2008]

That looks great. Got to make it for sure.

[TheMabelSyrup]

Does anyone else think he sounds kind of like Seth Rogen? I think picturing Seth Rogen narrate these recipes gives them a whole new level of awesome.

[Erazotl]

You're pronunciation

is correct : He-ka-ma.

Thank you for this delicious recipe..

[BloodyHarder]

finger tips way more expensive than vegetables :D

[vieattlechick]

i'm gonna be making this every weekend. :D YUM!!!!

[MAfr3ak]

Wow. The weirdest thing is happening. A few months ago my mom brought home some Jicama and neither of us knew what to do with it. I just roasted it with some other vegetables, but a few weeks ago, I thought about it in a slaw. In my head, I thought Granny Smith apples would be better. I just find this really odd that I thought about this, then saw it... lol

[jundidididi]

The last time i get excited over plant veggies or other green shit is during my 1st playthrough of Plant vs Zombies

[junemae007]

SINGKAMAS as we call it here in the Philippines and that tastes good! even with salt and soy sauce :)

[Priest105]

Now my regular coleslaw looks boring... :(

[avivelevovii]

I was hoping that the thing you liked most about your hot pink dressing was that it was pink. That would've been awesome.

I WANT TO EAT THIS. NOW.

[10idol]

i think in Philippines jicama is similar to SINGKAMAS

[plushiepenguin]

@10idol Singkamas is Jicama

[10idol]

@plushiepenguin :D

[Kaizey19]

I hate Jicama but I really want to try this~! ^_^

[whosaiducaneatmario]

whoa.... is it me, or did i just smell the scent of the coleslaw?!?! look what your foodporn has done now chef john!! im hallucinating!! TAT

[slimminjacks]

Im mexican and in spanish we do call it HEE KA MA. Unless we have always been calling it the wrong thing. Oh and I made this dish tonight and everyone loved it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! =)

[af4lazn]

"So good, sweet, crunchy, fresh, a lil'bit spicy, cool, crisp, just... AH~ so good"

:)

[BellaSilvery]

yummy.....

[chinesedude001]

can we use our famous hot white dressing?:D

[xNinjaKingx]

Not to be REALLY picky... but im pretty sure that wasnt hot pink... just sayin... im sure you just said it for the name and easier to say than "light pink borderline cream dressing!" but u know......... nice vid =D

[aurorellet]

i thought he called it hot because he put in sriracha sauce lol, which also makes it slightly pink..?

[xNinjaKingx]

@aurorellet i dont even know anymore lol

[TheNaya416]

hahah ai love you! hilarious

[shair00]

Mexican potato is a horrible describtion of a Jicama...i do love them though, great recipe, cant wait to try this...

[gabrielahdez]

dear John, the way you pronounce the word jícama the first time, is the correct way to do it, the second one is totally wrong...

and yes... mexican potato is worst descritption for jícamas, i love them, their peak season is winter time, case its when they are the more, juicy... in mexico, we eat them as a snack only with salt lemon juice and hot peper flakes. I love your channel

Gaby

[SuddenSparkles]

Crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch...

[nasabayabasan69]

yup, yup, yup..

it's a turnip..

singkamas in tagalog..

=)

[Grimripper]

In the Philippines We call Jicamas, "Singkamas" :D which we soak in cane vinegar and spice with chili peppers :D

[BrokenEvil]

i'm mexican it is said ji-kah-mah (:

[shagel7]

I can't tell if you were joking about it being called "ji-kah-mah" instead of "hic-uh-muh".... this looks amazing, though :)

[rusPiglets]

yeah, it certainly lacks cayenne

[enburst]

Hey everyone i created a wikipedia entry for John Mitzewich (aka chef john lol) everyone should go check it out and edit it to be a better article. Its just a skeleton right now but i think it could really be improved.

[SoothsayerYT]

I never gave prep work much thought, until I watched these videos. You changed the way I will use a whisk from now on.

[chintuis]

Yay!

[jazyab1]

yes, you said it right. hee-cah-mah :D Bravo!

[juliusreea]

with what i can replace jicama?

[janiethescholar]

We use the pink sauce on sushi.... yum!

[munak992]

Jicama is very common in Asia. but not celery root...We use it to braise with dried small prawns, and wrap with rice skin delicious

[Salazar518]

Shucks i so totally thought you woulda said "toss the salad" XD

[ixkey]

! Yum all up

Awesome slaw :o)

[lisa64valete]

hm that must be delicious...tnx

[sourcheesepringles]

we call those Singkamas in my country. good thing it's in season now. i'm gonna try this tomorrow.

[chickenetti]

You've inspired me!

[16181663]

watching ur vedios hungry is a big mistake!!!!

[annedouc]

How come so many chefs don't wash their ingredients before they use them? SOOOO disgusting. Just washing those cabbage and "potato" after slicing would make this dish fresh-looking.

[gorikuri]

I've GOT to try this. Looks so good! ;-)

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

You're funny....real mayonaise, don't use the fake mayonaise...LOL.

[trouble1macker202]

Little tip, if you want to make it a liter coleslaw, you can use non flavored yogurt instead of mayo.

[grobania]

Aww, by "hot pink dressing" I actually thought for a second that it was going to be the 'colour' "hot pink", then realized it was just hot AND pink. Kind of disappointed.

[joke4908]

"Soggy, wet thing"

Sounds like the hooker that is on my street corner. SHAZAM!!!

My, that was tacky, I'm sorry =P

[sven619mysterio]

vingertips way more expencive than vegateble's...

but not more expencive than chef John's wonderfull food ^^

[Innocentgirl17]

jicama?it is actually bangkuang. something like a fruit not a potato. duh

[alishazel]

is it similar to  chestnut? the jicama?

[BloodyGaaraOfSand]

hot sauce..does wasabi count or .... tobasco? chinese siracha ?

[juffurey]

@BloodyGaaraOfSand let's see... wasabi is mainly wasabi root (or in the US usually dyed horseradish), tabasco is mainly vinegar, and sriracha is mainly chiles. what do you think would be the best.

[ohmysuju]

Omg I'd love to eat those apple strips like fries and dip them in peanut butter or something LOL.

[tulipbaby53]

This looks yummy, and now I know what I can do with a jicama.

[stooge81]

man. you were really layin' on the adjectives towards the end there 4:12 ;^)

[takadi]

so hungry

[turuanu]

Man you can count ME among your vegetarian friends. I don't know where the heck I can find jicama in Costa Rica, and I'm afraid I'll have to make some kind of eggless mayonnaise, but I'm definitely going to try this, or some variety thereof. Corn nuts seem like a great touch, too. Gonna make a research now to see if I can make them at home. Unlike jicama, there is corn everywhere here.

[AndreaHatesHerName]

i dont understand why people keep asking what they can use in place of jicama. Nothing. If you're not going to use jicama, just DON'T. Make normal cole slaw.

[wirevo]

I think I'm one of the few people who likes their coleslaw a bit soggy. Never really liked eating crunchy cabbage, and then having that slight rubbery texture. Nonetheless, this still looks delicious and I will try it, but I'll leave it for a few hours before serving.

[lalabear18]

texturally thrilling

[MarieFace]

Freakin' LOVE cornnuts!

[eateastIndian]

Not a big coleslaw fan but this one had my mouth watering!

[gas0701]

chef john! can you make eclairs? pleaseeeee

btw, we call that singkamas in the philippines :)

[gas0701]

chef john! can you make eclairs? pleaseeeee

[prigunakurniadi]

several of you said it like a radish.... yeah it's true, the texture likely a radish but harder and denser. So crunchy :D

[prigunakurniadi]

at Indonesia we call it "Bengkuang"

that's tropical plant and also so yummy :D

[LiLxGHiT369]

Call me immature: I laughed at: "Soggy, wet thing."

[crlsbnll12]

We say "he'kah'mah" . Mmm its so yummy

[mixcatcom]

awesome! i have to try this.

[kce003]

@Coekize I do what I can.

[xoxo0224]

You don't peel a jicama like that just peel it like a banana, take that root on top and pull it down :) it's good with asian shirmp paste too. But that's good if you're really adventurous lol

[elarhy]

How to eat jicama: peel, cut, add lemon and salt, or chamoy.

And you did say "jicama" right....

[planetsareoverrated]

Hey Chef! I have a food wish for you. Remember in Big Night, the pasta and sausage and cheese and egg and whatever else was in that amazing dish. It's called Timpano I believe. If you make that you will be a hero to many!

[Sallyakerti]

Thank you chef!

[mufmaxtv]

WHERES THE CAYENNE

[YourNamex]

@mufmaxtv Haha good question!

[mufmaxtv]

@YourNamex hmm didnt expect highest rated comment lol

[liacokelat]

@mufmaxtv hahahaha XDDD

[TreeMuncher99]

2:40 "match dicks"

[stanley14321]

my food wish, Chef John, could you make mooncakes?

[disneyfreakXD112]

did anyone else hear "vantastic" at 1:21 ? haha Love u chef John!

[bluaeon]

we call those Jicama - SINGKAMAS (Sing-Ka-Mas) in Filipino language. i love those things... bacon bits would be pretty cool too but i bet it would be a bit salty.

[burntpurplevelvet]

Chef John are you checking my face book? Cause I posted an apple jicama slaw about a year ago. creepy!

[hope1light]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooow

[candi3xcraz3x]

xD. jicama is a funny word

[lanzemurdok]

Jicama with salt and lime. EHS BEST

[6151RichmondStreet]

I just had my plain old cabbage slaw for lunch :( Never even heard of a Jicama before, hopefully I can find one here.

[jamjameya]

You can actually peel it using your hands.. it's easy..

[jamjameya]

Thank you Chef! Now i know what else to do with singkamas! ;D

[ratmq]

The perfect accompaniment to my wife's Potato Salad (apple chunks are the secret) Cannot wait to try this one....TY Chef!

[kcl060]

The proper pronunciation is closer to what you actually said--it is HEE.cah.mah since it comes from Spanish. Your recipe sounds delish! I absolutely love the idea of mixing apple and jicama with hot peppers to get that nice heat/sweet and tangy flavor oppositio. Yum!

[Kagicali]

The way you said it it's perfect Chef John Jicama! You said it right!

[megustaverlas]

Chef John, I usually use my hand to peel the jicamas.

[megustaverlas]

มันแกว กรอบ หวาน อร่อย (try translating this!)

[theurbanolive]

That hot pink dressing isn't hot pink... :(

[doycohamco]

Fingertips way more expensive than vegetables. lol

[lordoflossarnach]

What, no cayenne?! D:

[agustn]

Thanks. Please Chef John add sometime some vegetarian recipes.

[leftysergeant]

Just had a couple teeth out, so I will probably not be trying it too soon, but it looks like something to try when I get my dentures on another moth or so.

[pede42]

boohoo, somebody insulted the bible, boofreakinhoo, read the bible and you'll not be a christian anymore, fact.

[nesseline]

Hm, jicama, also yam bean, not sold here in Germany, and couldn't find any translation for corn nut. What a pity, but the salad seems worth a flight to the US :) looks very yummy!

[megustaverlas]

@nesseline In Thailand you get jicama (peeled, sliced) for just 10 baht (20 eurocents, more or less). If sold in kilos, costs much less apiece.

[ShannyCleaner]

love the recipe..that pink sauce, wonderful..Just because I was wondering the other day what sweet and spicy things do well together.. you have to rate the sauce..on a personal note.. sticky tab thingy

[jordanian14]

I love it I will try it in my weekend !!!

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

The "Jicama" you are spelling is actually a black dress-like worn for Aikido "martial art". My question is: "Could you cook Steven Seagal?" I don't think so!

[monileal7777]

you are correct with the pronunciation: he-ka-mah

that is correct.

JAY-KA-MAH is not correct...

[Cabsinthehouse]

wat else can we use the dressing with?

please help cause i dont have any jicama here

wat else can i use besides jicama

[leftysergeant]

@Cabsinthehouse Water chestnuts have a similar texture, but are not as sweet.  Chayote squash might also work.

[sxystar41]

@Cabsinthehouse  I used sweet potatoes instead .... I don't have jicama out here either.. I live in the middle of nowhere.. it turned out great !

[Daisygocrazy]

@Cabsinthehouse hmmm maybe radish?

[angrylaserhobo]

@Cabsinthehouse Then it becomes just Apple Coleslaw.

[seraphicsiren]

@Cabsinthehouse you could try diakon (like a white carrot), radishes, or broccoli slaw (precut bagged variety). Use any mild crunchy substitute.

[pansyed]

@Cabsinthehouse cayenne!!!!!!!!!!

[banishedangel6]

@Cabsinthehouse Never had jicama, but what he described reminds me of water chestnuts?

[blktwewnyot]

@Cabsinthehouse I know jicama, in my country its called "bengkoang" it taste sweet.. like chinese white pear but less sweeter? & texture close to... turnip?

[ListenitupSon]

I love eating jicama. My mom would eat it like an apple :P Great recipe as always.

[Love2dancexx]

@foodwishes What could you use instead of the jicama? there is not much food variety in spain like in the US or the UK

[ysabelaster]

Jicama in the Philippines are called Singkamas :D :D Pinoys dip it in vinegar and it really tastes yummy :D

[ysabelaster]

Jicama in the Philippines are called Singkamas :D :D

[Missyplaymate3]

Chef John this looks so good. By the way I love your cookbook.

[Budgetgravy]

Looks DELICIOUS next to everything. :D

[yihanglee]

@foodwishes i don't have jicama,what can i use to subsitute jicama?

[Coekize]

@yihanglee grow your own, do i have to think of everything?

[JohnWoo]

I lost the side of my thumb on a mandoline, so it was scary seeing you use one without a guard.

[aizatjais]

jicama in malaysia we call " SENGKUANG " very testy i put at my burger mmm so nice..

[anexpatkid]

too sweet the dressing!

[CybHoney03]

Mmmmmmmmm :P

[xxMinseok]

Oh man..I have no real mayo for this ingredient, and I highly doubt I'll find it anywhere around here.

*chef john replies with a smart-ass reply*

/offended and want to kill myself.

Got to love people.

Oh wait, maybe he could have POSSIBLY being witty and I didn't get it at all!

/facepalm..yeah ok, contradicting myself? I put both sides on the table and you only saw one. Good job on that one broski.

[Wongerism]

@xxMinseok are you just disappointed that i outsmarted you so now you're manipulating the conversation?

[xxMinseok]

@Wongerism Disappointed? You're an idiot o-o. Let's stop thinking on the surface and realize that I'm addressing the idea of more possibilities. You've already chosen the side of the serious side, while I have (in a sense) sided with his tone being not-so-serious. Thus, I haven't contradicted what I've said. If you knew who I am, you would know that I don't take sides where there's more than one possibility. I'm telling you that you can't judge tone of written words out of someone you don't know

[Wongerism]

@xxMinseok the fact that chef john removed his comment i believe he is implying that what i in fact thought was true thus he removed it. please, what did i say about using big words. once again in your comment you have contradicted yourself, you might like to look these words up in a dictionary so you can use them in the correct context. please refrain from calling me vulgar names it is just childish and immature. if you reply, check yourself before you wreck yourself.

[xxMinseok]

@Wongerism Maybe he removed it because he didn't mean to offend the poster. I see you're still attempting to take on a side with only one possibility without addressing the others. And I enjoyed that line before you chose to use it..I'm actually quite a 90s rap/hip hop fan, and it was a great surprise that Zach Galifianakis said it in Due Date. Sorry for my 'vulgar' name(s), but it seemed most appropriate. Maybe ignorant fits more.

[Wongerism]

@xxMinseok you do realize that your main argument is that i am not thinking of all possibilities of why he responded the way he did, that means that you also agree with what i think.. am i right? you must be pretty mad to keep this argument going many times have i tried to settle it but YOUR FEEBLE ATTEMPTS ARE PATHETIC.. FOR THAT THE RATE JUST WENT UP 5%. on another note, if you feel that this dispute will not come to an understanding i believe the only resolution would be to come at me.

[xxMinseok]

@Wongerism Lmao..smh. Best 26 year old ever. By far. Hahahahaha. So, I guess that you're pretty happy under such a quote..I truly wonder.

[ladeestar]

omg i'm in cornnuts phase. esp. the ones from phillipines :)

[Coekize]

i heard somewhere that chef john was gay...makes sense with all these pink dressings hes been usin

[kce003]

VEGGIE !!

[Coekize]

@kce003 most intelligent comment ive ever seen

[loveyourbody1231]

BUT ITS NOT HOT PINK

[GazeRock123]

These jicama things are kinda watery and crispy. Vietnamese people eat them in something call bo bia. It's like a springroll with lap xuong (chinese sausage) and eggs. nom nom nom.

[418608]

You've got my mouth watering and I'm picky with apples in salads. 

[jjasmineee]

chef john you've been using a lot of pink recently!

[Inga4020]

This looks scrumptious-diddley-umptious.. The last time I got excited by a vegi slaw was when I tasted the Asian Slaw at a ClaimJumpers dining room here in Vegas...Soooo good. Would love to know how that stuff gets put together.

Definitly gonna try this Jicama-Apple Slaw very soon

[ericsgonzalez]

I would add some cooked cold shrimp delicious, I think CPK has it on their menu

[pancake1900]

LOOOOOOOOVE IT! I just really cant find the jicama....:( Does anybody knows something else that tastes like it ?

[phimac10]

Good job, I will try it out.

[Lisatruck]

OMG! I'm ready to eat that dressing on toast. It would be great on any salad. But I'm going to try it on a bag of cabbage slaw tomorrow.

[danielmartinex]

no cayenne pepper?

[MarioUrquidez1]

Chef john your vids are great (Y)

I'm Mexican and you said it right, jicama is great to eat just with lemon and salt.

[swaispunk]

six people should have their taste buds scraped off- PERMANENTLY!

[TheVittleVlog]

Great vid!!

[russtex]

Looks good!

[xShiKiTax]

Jicama + "Chili" = WIN

[Silverstarlightt]

So....hungryy. x]

[HereticEast]

You have vegetarian fans?

[i986scripto]

OMG he didnt use a fork to mix!!!

[sharjunkies]

I bet this would taste so good with bacon

[Strand0410]

@sharjunkies Oh Americans. Bacon n' cheese it up.

[SargentGunnery]

@sharjunkies But... but... what about the eggs? D:

[Milosmilk]

@sharjunkies everything is good with bacon.

[ItsLauraBoss]

@sharjunkies everything tastes good with bacon

[elarhy]

@sharjunkies it woulnd't

[phemyda94]

Who says you need a reason to play with food?

[kellyalexandrashow]

this looks absolutely amazing. your comment replies are so funnnyy by the way! ahahahha
