Thai-inspired Creamy Noodles | raw vegan


You're sitting at home dreaming of spicy creamy noodles, but uh-oh you're on a raw vegan diet! What's a girl to do? Make my Thai-inspired creamy noodles of course. 100% raw vegan and 200% yummilicious.

There is only 2 tricky ingredients, one is that you will need a good spiral slicer. I use the Spirali from Detox Your World  it's brilliant and makes gorgeous noodles from courgettes and other vegetables. The other tricky ingredient is raw coconut milk - this you can get from an actual young green 'jelly' coconut or, if they are in short supply like in my town, you can buy amazing Dr Martin's raw coconut milk which has a mere 2g of fat per 100ml (unlike the tinned stuff which is cooked and super-fatty).

So you'll need 

2 courgettes per person
1-2 ripe red peppers (I love those pointy Romero types)
Red onion and spring onion (to taste)
Dr Martins Coco milk (just enough to coat the courgettes)
Fresh coriander
Tiny bit of hot chilli (optional)
2-3 fresh or soaked dates.

How to make

Spiralise the courgettes to make the noodles and set aside.
Julienne the pepper to make thing strips and mix in with the noodles
But everything else in a food processor and blend until thick and smooth
Pour the sauce over the noodles and let it marinade for 20-30 minutes
Serve up in bowls or plates and decorate with fresh coriander and spring onion slivers


Yes, it really does taste as good as it looks.

Enjoy
