Difficulty/Easy
Although traditional peanut sauce can be complicated to make, my version is pared down to the basics. Because raw peanut butter doesn’t taste very good, I use almond butter, seasoned with coconut oil, lemon, jalapeno, and coriander. Just blend and toss.
Ingredients
- “PEANUT” SAUCE — Makes about 1 1/2 cups
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos or Nama Shoyu
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon seeded, chopped jalapeno, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¾ cup filtered water
- ¼ cup sliced fresh basil
- 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage
- 2 (12-ounce) packages kelp noodles (or your favorite noodles)
Instructions
- Place the sauce ingredients in a 2-cup Personal Blender. Blend until smooth.
- To serve, toss the sauce with the basil, cabbage, and noodles.
Notes
The sauce will keep on its own for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Noodles that have been tossed with the sauce will keep for a day or two in the fridge.
I recommend slicing your cabbage with a mandoline slicer, to get the thinnest slices. You can always use a knife. And, if you dont have kelp noodles, use spiralized zucchini or sliced coconut meat instead. Red bell peppers make tasty, pretty noodles, too.
