Peanut Curry Kelp Noodles


I've been in kelp noodle withdrawal the last bunch of months.  The Korean grocery store that carries them for less than $2/bag has been out of stock, and I refuse to spend the $5-6 or more everywhere else seems to charge.  After all, I can easily eat a whole bag in one sitting!

So I was delighted to find them back on the shelf a few weeks ago and was fortunate to snatch up the last bag.  Unfortunately, I've been back twice since and they don't have them again. 

I love, love, love them.  Like shirataki noodles, they are very low in carbs and calories, and gluten-free, however, they don't have a funny smell like shirataki noodles do when you first open the bag, and they do absorb liquid so you have more leeway in terms of how to sauce them.

This recipe is quick and easy and crazy delicious.  I added in mixed seafood at the end, but you can omit that if you want these to be vegan.

Peanut Curry Kelp Noodles

1 340g bag kelp noodles, rinsed and snipped with scissors
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 340g bag rainbow slaw (or veggies of choice)
340g bag frozen mixed seafood, thawed (optional)

Sauce

1/4 cup natural peanut butter
2 tbls rice vinegar
1 tbls soy sauce/tamari/aminos
1 tbls agave
2 tsp curry powder (mild or hot)
1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder

Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce.   If its too thick, add a bit of water or additional vinegar to thin it out.

Place noodles in a large skillet, pan or wok with onions and vinegar until noodles soften.  Then add veggies and seafood, if using and continue to cook until veggies soften and seafood is cooked through.  Stir in sauce and continue cooking for a minute or two.  Serves 1-2.

Man this was good, but now I'm out of kelp noodles again.  For all you Torontonians buying up all my cheap kelp noodles:  Leave some for me, will ya???

I have entered this recipe into Diet, Dessert, & Dogs Wellness Weekend.

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th...

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ...

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch...
