Creamy Kelp Noodles

If you want to take veggie noodles to the next level, you may come into contact with kelp noodles. This recipe for Creamy Kelp Noodles is a variation on my all-time favourite recipe for raw vegan pad thai. Instead of using an assortment of veggies, I opted for some sliced chard and cucumber.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almonds, soaked for at least a few hours
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp freshly minced ginger
• 1/2 clove garlic
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tamarind pod, peeled and de-seeded
• salt to taste
• sliced chard

Instructions

Soak 1 packages of kelp noodles for at least an hour in warm water. Drain. Blend the first nine ingredients in a blender, and add to noodles, making sure to mix the dressing with the noodles until well-integrated. Add chopped vegetables and serve immediately or let the dish ‘set’ overnight in the fridge.
