NOTES

  • *If desired to soften the noodles add 2 teaspoons of baking soda and ¼ cup lemon juice to a large bowl. Add the rinsed kelp noodles and massage for about 45 seconds to tenderize. The noodle will still have a slightly crunchy texture.
  • To eat warm add all the vegetables to a saute pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes, then add the sauce and noodles. Toss to mix well. Take off the heat and enjoy!
