Drunken-Style Kelp Noodles

New Year, new noodle dish. Natalia Rudin visited and we collaborated on the best plant-based low-calorie kelp noodle dish.

The drunken noodle-style sauce is a perfect mix of umami, heat & zest. Plus, kelp noodles are a great low-calorie pasta option. An entire bag of these noodles is only 10 calories! For added protein, tofu, egg or ground chicken will work wonderfully with this.

Ingredients:

For the Noodles:

7 oz Kelp Noodles drained & rinsed

2 tbsp Natural Oil we used algae oil, but avocado works

2 Thai Chillies deseeded, very finely chopped

2 Green Onions thinly-sliced

1 cup Broccolini thinly-sliced

1 Red Bell Pepper thinly-sliced

For the Sauce:

3 large Cloves of Garlic minced

1 tbsp Ginger microplaned

2 tbsp Vegan Fish Sauce

2 tbsp Coconut Aminos or Dark Soy Sauce

2 tsp Sesame Oil

1-2 tsp Coconut Sugar

1 tbsp Lime Juice

1/2 tsp Chili Flakes

Chopped Peanuts & Green Onions for garnish

Instructions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Sauté the vegetables with the oil for 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Add in the kelp noodles and enjoy!
