instructions
-
Step 1.
Rinse the kelp noodles then put in a bowl and pour over the hot water and tamari. Stir, cover, and leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes until soft.
-
Step 2.
Next cut your tofu (or tempeh) into 8 slices, then cut each slice into two triangles, creating 16 triangles in total. Place them in a single layer in a tray, and pour over the tamari and garlic, moving around the pieces with your fingers so they’re fully covered in marinade.
-
Step 3.
Slice and chop all your veges finely and place in a large bowl (or use two).
-
Step 4.
Heat your coconut oil in a pan, and pan fry the tofu (or tempeh) for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
-
Step 5.
Meanwhile blitz sauce ingredients in a blender until super smooth, adding 1/4c of the kelp noodle soaking marinade.
-
Step 6.
Finely pull apart the kelp noodles with your hands (they should be soft by now), add to the veges, pour over half a cup of sauce (or more if needed), and mix everything until well combined.
-
Step 7.
Serve topped with tofu, coriander, lemon wedges, and a tablespoon of red skin peanuts on each plate, with the remaining peanut sauce on the side. Devour!
