Asian style kelp noodle salad

I just came back from a mini trip back home (Sydney) where I indulged in a little too much delicious food. I can’t complain but my body is craving some fresh and light vegetables! I made this asian kelp noodle salad to satisfy those cravings and fill in those nutritional deficits! Haha. The salad happens to be low-carb and soy free too :). It’s an almost-raw stir fry reminiscent of Asian take away food, without all of the nasties. It can be eaten cold during Summer or heated up during Winter.

Have you tried kelp noodles before? I had them once in a raw food cafe/restaurant and fell in love! They were like al dente clear sweet potato Korean noodles. I got them from my local health foods store to experiment with, because why not?!

Kelp noodles don’t have much of a taste so it’s alll about the seasonings in this recipe. I used my favourite Niulife Cocomino Teriyaki Sauce and just a bit of sesame oil to flavour these noodles and it was spot on. I prefer letting the noodles and veggies soak in the marinade for a couple of hours to help soften everything and to help the flavours distribute in the dish

Feel free to use whatever vegetables you like! I just used vegetables which I wouldn’t mind eating raw which makes this recipe more versatile.
