I love to make Spicy Sesame Noodles for friends who always want the recipe :)  Serve it on white plates in pretty little stacks using a ring mold. 

 

Packed with Antioxidants, Phytonutrients & Enzymes.

 

Make all your raw pasta dishes taste a whole lot better with perfect texture, by using my favorite tools:  a spiralizer (best for squash), a coconut noodler (great for squash, cucumber & coconut) and a julienne peeler (for carrots).

  

Spicy Sesame Noodles are packed with Iron, Calcium and Protein

The vegetables we use are limited only by our imaginations!

 

Carrots julienned using the julienne peeler.

 

Recipe for Spicy Sesame Noodles (2 large or 4 medium servings)

Ingredients:

Noodles

• 2 large yellow zucchini (peel for more of a pasta feel- or leave peel on for added nutrition & color) or 2 large baby thai coconuts, or mixture of both
• 1 small cucumber, peeled
  
• 1 carrot
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 scallions or a handful chives
• small handful cilantro, coarsley chopped

Sauce

(This is a double recipe of sauce. Feel free to cut in in half.  Not having enough sauce for your noodles if your veg are larger than norm would be very sad. Simply store leftover in the fridge for soba noodles 2 days later.

• 2/3 cup raw sesame butter (or cashew or almond butter)**
• 4 Tbs low sodium tamari
• 3 Tbs ume plum vinegar or rice wine vinegar
• 2 -4 tsp garlic chile paste or my fav chili paste + 1 finely minced clove garlic
• 1 tsp (or to taste) liquid stevia (or honey)
• lime wedges
  
• 1 -2 tsp sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Method:

1. Spiralize the yellow squash.  A coconut noodler is easiest for the cucumber- do not use the skin or seeds. A julienne peeler is best for the carrot.  Very thinly julienne cut the red bell pepper by hand.
2. Add all the noodle ingredients (yellow squash thru cilantro) to a large mixing bowl.  Gently combine with clean hands  to incorporate.
3. Combine the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl, whisking with the tines of a fork til smoothly integrated.
4. Drizzle half (you can always add more later) the sauce over the noodles and toss gently to distribute. Add more to reach desired consistency if needed. Store extra in fridge for up to 2 days for use on more veggie noodles, soba noodles etc.
5. Serve on white plates, to show off the colors, using a ring mold to make neat stacks.  
6. Spritz each stack with a lime wedge.  If desired drizzle extra sauce over stacks & plate.  Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped cashews or almonds depending on the butter you used (optional).  Serve with chopsticks.  

**This recipe does not use peanut butter or peanuts because even raw, organic peanuts are highly allergenic, susceptible to molds, salmonella and toxins such as aflatoxin, which creates congestion in the liver, is associated with liver cancer and shown to stunt growth in children. As if this were not enough reason to avoid them, peanuts are also pro-inflammatory, pesticide laden and contain anti-nutrients known as lectins. I know, it's a food we associated with fond childhood memories, however I encourage you to do your own research on peanuts.

I just caught the bottom part about peanuts. I had NO idea! My Keira is allergic to feathers & mold-no more toxic peanut butter for her. When I shared this info with her, she was so grossed out and willingly quit peanut butter.

Is sunflower seed butter okay?

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Dina,

Thank you for your awesome comment and question!

Raw almond butter w no additional ingredients is what most turn to as a substitute as it's easy to find and has no additional undesirable ingredients. Almond butter is a good source of protein, vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, copper and fiber. It's higher in both fiber and calcium than peanut butter. Almonds cause less acidity in the body than many other nuts. It tastes milder and less salty than peanut butter.

As for sunflower butter it depends on how the butter is made- if it's raw (sprouted is even better!) with no added ingredients that's best.

Personally, I only consume raw nuts, first soaking/sprouting them to release the inhibitory enzymes. Nuts, seeds, and legumes contain these inhibitors as a naturally occurring mechanism to keep from deteriorating. In the presence of moisture this enzyme inhibitor is released and all the great enzymes are released for our consumption. I soak nuts overnight in filtered water and himalayan salt then lay them out in the dehydrator to dry and crisp. They are SO good. They can then be ground in the Vitamix to make butter.

I will buy raw nut butters only as long as they have absolutely no other ingredients added. Raw SPROUTED nut butters are the best - tho harder to come by and pricier.

Let me know if this answers your question. Hope you had a fantastic weekend :)

Love,
Juliane
