Sesame Ginger Kelp Noodles

Ingredients:

• 1 bag kelp noodles

• 1-inch slice of ginger

• 2 tablespoons raw sesame tahini

• 1/4 teaspoon whole, unrefined sea salt (to taste)

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

• 1 clove garlic (optional)

• 2 - 3 tablespoons of lemon (or more to taste)

• 1/4 - 1/2 cup water (to desired consistency)

• sesame seeds (optional)

• chopped greens, scallions, or other veggies

Directions:

1. Rinse kelp noodles and place in a bowl with water to cover.

2. In a blender, combine remaining ingredients until smooth. Adjust water as needed to achieve a thick, creamy sauce.

3. Adjust salt to taste.

4. Drain kelp noodles. Shake colander to remove excess water.

5. Pour sauce over noodles and massage gently with hands to help the noodles soften.

6. Add chopped veggies if desired.

7. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional). Can be eaten immediately or saved for later since the noodles continue to soften as they sit in the sauce.
