@LilBitMissty  Have you ever tried substituting jicama for water chestnuts?  They are so similar, lots of crunch and bland flavor but I have no idea what happens to jicama when cooked.  I've only ever used it cold in salads.

This is a good recipe!!!  I copied it and tried it when LilBitMissty posted it awhile ago.  I have fixed it more than once and recommend you try it.  Thanks, LilBitMissty!
