Kelp Noodles

Kelp Noodles by Sea Tangle can sometimes be hard to find in your local grocery stores.  It depends on where you live.  Though I have been seeing an increase of these popping up.  I often find mine at WholeFoods, on-line such as here, and in nutrition stores.

Kelp Noodles are a sea vegetable in the form of an easy to eat raw noodle.  Made of only kelp (a sea vegetable), sodium alginate (sodium salt extracted from a brown seaweed), and water.

• Their noodle form and neutral taste allow for a variety of uses including salads, stir-fries, broths, and casseroles, while their healthful content provides a rich source of trace minerals including iodine, which kelp is well known for.
• Their unique texture completes the package, making Kelp Noodles a one-of-a-kind healthful and tasty alternative to pasta and rice noodles. Best of all, no cooking is required. Just rinse and add the noodles to any dish and they are ready to eat!

To Soften the Noodles:

They won’t get super soft but you can tenderize them a bit by:

• Soften on counter top – Rinse noodles and place in a bowl.  Add enough water to cover the noodles, add lemon juice and salt.  Cover and allow them to soak overnight on the counter.  When ready to use, rinse and serve.
• Soften in dehydrator – Rinse noodles and place in a bowl.  Add enough water to cover the noodles, add lemon juice and salt.  Place the bowl in the dehydrator and warm the noodles at 105 degrees over night or 145 degrees for a few hours.
• Soften in Braggs Aminos, Tamari or your desired “soy sauce” – Rinse noodles and place in a bowl.  Toss in your soy sauce and allow it to marinate for a few hours or over night.
