Living Rawesome Day #217 Cold Spicy Long-Life Noodles with Ginger Sauce
February 27, 2010
I just finished this salad so Jason could take it work. My spiralizer wouldn’t cut the jicama up like noodles, they came out more like mush. I decided I would just hand slice them. I think they came out okay. The flavor of the salad was sweet from agave/honey and tahini and sesame oil together make a delicate Chinese dish. The raw peanuts are from sunfood.com. I really appreciate this salad because it has slightly different ingredients than what I have been using. I used bok choy, which hasn’t been in any other recipes yet. I don’t think I have ever used bok choy in a raw recipe. I think it’s just one of those plants I overlook. It is difficult to find it organic. I remember the first time I had bok choy was with my brother. He made stir fry and I loved it. It is an unforgettable memory. I thank my brother each time I eat bok choy and when I listen to Bob Marley. Yep he started me on Bob Marley too. Gotta love older brothers!
Noodles Ingredients
jicama
wild raw peanuts
scallions
mung bean sprouts
bok choy
I mixed all ingredients then added sauce.
Sauce Ingredients
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
2 T agave (honey would be fine too)
2 T minced ginger
All ingredients were blended in Vita-mix. Then I poured them over the salad.
Making the salad was a nice change from what I did all day, which was study! My test is on Thursday and it will be on the Lymphatic System and Respiratory System. I am hoping to keep my A in the class. After Thursday I will be on Spring Break for a week. Then my L.O.V.E. (Living Organics for Vibrant Energy) class is the next exciting thing I will be doing. It’s on March 20 at 10 am. I have a few people signed up already, and I have been working on the menu. I am pumped up and ready. I think it helps when me more when I am almost completely raw and teaching it. I know the importance of it, but when I don’t eat all the best things, I don’t feel the best and I really don’t feel like spreading the message. So I am ready. It’s only been a week but I have been mostly raw with the exception of a little cashews and agave:( I am working on that though. More than ever, I believe that those ingredients are not the best for me. Quite honestly I don’t crave the pies and desserts as much now as when I first learned about raw. I do think that the desserts were definitely a doorway for me to learn more about raw and they allowed me to realize living this lifestyle is achievable.
I am going to finally publish my 6 month review on my blog, Jason was going to proof read it but he has been so busy, so I am going to start proof reading now.
