Peanut sauce with noodles and vegetables is a legendary dish that is highly addictive. Due to the limitations of the raw vegan cleanse, we took that recipe and adapted it to fit the raw vegan parameters. You cannot have rice noodles, but you can transform the humble carrot into noodles with a vegetable spiralizer. The noodles offer great texture and serve as a great vessel for the incredibly rich almond butter sauce. Is it more delicious than the classic peanut noodle dish? We’ll leave that for you to decide.
We aren’t going to knock peanut butter, but a lot of store bought varieties contain added sugars and unhealthy hydrogenated oils. This recipes replaces peanut butter with raw almond butter, which is naturally rich in protein and healthy fats. Rice noodles are high glycemic and do not offer a lot of nutrients, whereas carrot noodles are fiber-rich and full of beta-carotene. The sauce also utilizes the meat and water from a young Thai coconut, which offers a lovely sweetness that complements the nutty almond butter, spicy ginger, zesty lime juice, and coconut aminos. If you want to kick things up a notch, you can add some more red pepper flakes.
What you are left with is a flavorful combination of healthy ingredients. After eating it, will you reach a state of elation? Only you can answer that. We’ll just say it is a great raw entree that fills you up and keeps your palate interested in raw vegan dishes. Leave the salad be for a day and create something unique like this!
