Kelp Noodle Recipe Modifications:

I made the kelp noodles WITHOUT soy or namo shoyu or oil or vinegar or honey…this is what I did and I found it DELISCIOUS It probably tastes way different from Erika’s – but I thought I would post this for others in case they had other dietary restrictions.

In my Vitamix, I blended: (one person serving)

H20 (about 1/8-1/4 cup)
Vivapura Wild Jungle Peanut Butter (a few tablespoons)
Organic Lime (squeezed)
Fresh Ginger root (a small piece)
Fresh Garlic (one clove)
Hot Pepper (small red one)
Himalayan Salt (pinch)

TOPPING:
Fresh Basil leaves ripped into little pieces
1/2 Organic Red pepper cut into strips
Vivapura Really Raw Cashews (one small handful)
1/2 Orgniac Avocado cut into strips
Himalayan Salt (pinch)
Organic lemon (a few squeezes)

I personally try not to use to many oils, and prefer fats from whole raw food sources..hence why I added the avocado, and raw chashews..rather than the olive oil.

I try to make my own sauces/dressings from scratch…I found the taste combo of the basil and lime with the cashews and wild jungle peanut butter amazing…

In terms of the noodles, http://www.kelpnoodles.com/ is the web page for the noodles that I used.

Thank you Erika for the inspiration!!!! I wouldn’t of experimented with this at all if it wasn’t for you! (and Jody telling me about your blog post)

Yay, happy experimenting!
Eva

[...] to one of my favorite dressings, an asian-styled peanut dressing. I did a recipe some time ago for Wild Jungle Peanut Noodles so I wanted to try something slightly different. I decided to try a Wild Jungle Peanut Dressing [...]

Many thanks, Erika, for the suggestion. I work with so much IBD, celiac included, that I do not use any of the bean, grain based salty liquids seasonings or pastes. Will try the noodles soon. Got your wild jungle peanut butter in town, tastes great. Love, Sheila

You could use Umeboshi Plum Vinegar instead. This is not a true vinegar but rather the brine that umeboshi plums are fermented in. It has a very savory and salty taste. If you do beans other than soy a diluted chickpea miso would also work. I personally do not use Nama Shoyu due to celiac and only occasionally use wheat-free tamari. I have found the first two substitutes to work well in asian style dishes.

You can order Sea Tangle kelp noodles from their website by the box. Many health food stores carry them in their refrigerated section as well.

Hi Viva,
Would love to make the noodles however what substitute do you suggest for the tamari and nama shoyu. I do not use soy or grain products in my diet as they are complex sugars. They can contribute to malabsorption syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Any thoughts. Would love to make some of the more asian recipes but not with soy or grain products.
Thanks,
Sheila
PS Where do I get tangled kelp noodles!!!!
