  • 1 cup grated carrot

  • 1 cup grated chayote (lightly squeezed)

  • ½ cup chopped parsley

  • ¼ cup chopped green onion

  • 1 cup gluten-free crushed oat meal (acts as thickener instead of noodles)

  • 1 small yellow onion, fried until golden

  • ½ tsp turmeric

  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½–1 tsp salt (to taste)

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
