Ingredients For Vegan Kelp Noodles Recipe

• Mixed Vegetables: You can choose any vegetables, so long as they are bite-sized. I like to use green beans, cauliflower, broccoli florets (the same amount of each), and some chopped bell peppers, but you could also try celery sticks or similar cooked vegetables. I’m going to be honest with you: these veggies don’t add any flavor of their own. But they do give the noodles some texture and bulk and make them look much more appetizing!
• Kelp Noodles: They have a slightly seaweedy taste that can take some getting used to, but once you’ve gotten past the initial shock of gnawing on something that looks like a snake, kelp noodles add an interesting flavor and texture element to any meal (especially if you’re trying to eat more plant-based foods).
• Baking Soda & Lemon Juice: Baking soda and lemon juice are used to make the kelp noodles soft. The baking soda will produce a chemical reaction that helps remove some of the sulfur compounds, which are responsible for the strong smell of seaweed (you don’t want your food to smell like seaweed). The lemon juice has an acidic property that can further help soften up these noodles.
• Sauce Mixture: The sauce mixture is a simple blend of ingredients, making it easy to prepare. The main ingredient in this sauce mixture is soy sauce, which provides the necessary flavor to make your noodles taste delicious. Don’t freak out with the many ingredients used in this sauce mixture. Kelp noodles are often very bland and the sauce mixture adds a lot of flavors.
• Onion: For some extra flavor.
• Oil: To saute the vegetables.

How to Prepare Vegan Kelp Noodles

To make this vegan kelp noodles, you would first need to prep the kelp noodles by combining the baking soda with lime juice and stirring in the kelp noodle. Once it softens up, drain the mixture and wash off any excess with water. Add a little bit of the sauce mixture and leave to marinate for about 5 minutes.

To a large pan on medium heat, add some olive oil, chopped red onions, and mixed veggies. Sautee the veggies until it softens. Add in the rest of your sauce mixture and leave to cook until the veggies fully absorb the sauce. Then stir in your marinated kelp noodles and simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat.

Serve and Enjoy.
